What are you hoping to work on for SWS?
https://kirk.is/polling/ - yet another quick and dirty "do an online poll for a group", but catered to my peculiar preferences (in terms of ease of setting up and admin stuff etc - it has an admin password but no sense of user accounts...)
What are you hoping to work on for SWS?
I already made up a front end (declarative vanilla js) for the editor, and now I just need to make up the other parts - show the poll, record the response, view the responses, remove errant/duplicate responses...

I've been doing indie web for a loooooong time - since the mid-90s when that was all there was on the web, more or less. I pivoted from Perl CGI to PHP so PHP still feels new to me :-D my blog https://kirk.is, I've updated daily for over 20 years, and its CMS is all handrolled PHP. I've made tools for managing my band's sheet music library ( https://chart-o-tron.org ) and I have a small side hustle of websites for "porchfest" (about a dozen of the ones I list on https://porchfest.info/ I do with online signups, admin, and maps) . I also use to make a lot of toys in Process/p5: https://toys.alienbill.com - see especialy https://animals.alienbill.com/

My day job is as a "UI" guy and I'm hopeful people are coming around to how much unneccesary complexity there is in the frontend these days. PHP + vanilla JS or JQuery answer SO many of the questions that you need to code up these days - even without a furtther framework. My sites last for decades and when I go to fix 'em up there's no build process or upgrade that's broken down... things just work
