What are you hoping to work on for SWS? My main site is nothing but a static index page at the moment -- I'd like to get it set up with a tidy and unfussy design and populate it out with a whole bunch of different things, including archiving my fics, podfics, zines, etc, but maybe also including content for other hobby stuff that's less fandom-focused, such as birds and crafting.
For my linkding instance (the service I use for bookmark management), when the next release comes out for linkding, I will be figuring out how to update my install -- because the next release will include the very important feature of being able to customize the shared-bookmarks page for guest viewers, so that I can have it set up to show information in a more useful way!
What interests you about the small/indie web, and how did you learn about or get into it? I've been interested in it since I was a tween on the internet teaching myself html on avidgamers forums! but what finally crystallized my interest in self-hosting was the ongoing news about the shitty organizational practices of ao3 behind the scenes. having nearly all of fandom's fic activity on one single site just isn't good for a robust fannish ecosystem!
and THEN I found out that pinboard's owner had gone down the terf rabbit hole and it became more urgent for me to figure out having my own website, because I wanted to be able to control my own bookmarks, which have been a vital part of my fannish life for like 15 years, first on delicious and then on pinboard.
So I did! I got the linkding instance set up first, and wrangled it into functionality, but now it's time for me to work on expanding the rest of my site!
