Name: I’m Calico! :3 Project(s): A personal webpage hosted on Neocities! I have no idea what I’m going to do with it yet, I don’t even know the domain I’m planning on using (I’m very picky about URLS and usernames and the like) but I do know I’m going to have fun with it!
What are you hoping to work on for SWS?
The main thing I want to do is set up a homepage with a little bit of info about yours truly and accessible (if not yet live) llinks to whatever shenanigans I get up to— I haven’t done any work on my site; it’s still just the “Welcome to Neocities” splash. ^-^; Anything else is a bonus since I’m very much learning as I go. Smaller goal: I really dig the Made On [Insert Operating System Of Choice Here] flavor of 88 x 31 site buttons, but I haven’t dug up any for my poison of choice (Linux Mint) yet, so I’m going to dabble in making a few of my own.
What interests you about the small/indie web, and how did you learn about or get into it?
I think the most interesting part of the indie web is just how personal it can get. I’m a bit too young to feel nostalgic for this sort of thing, and I didn’t even know about Neocities and the fact that personal pages were something people still did until sometime late last year— I found out that a friend has a page and then went down a rabbit hole of furious research that I have… yet to put into practice. I just think learning a new skill while making something tailored to me and only me (something that I feel I need to get better at as a creative; I put a little too much value on others’ perception of my work) will be a really cool and fun experience. :)
