Small Web September Kick-Off/Check-In 1: Goals!
Somehow it's September already and the kick-off point for Small Web September has arrived! \o/
As a reminder, this is the first of five ‘check-in’/comment points that will be published during the event – you can check out the schedule and dates of these posts over on the event intro. There’s no cut-off point for commenting on these, so you can add something at any time – you also don’t need to comment on them all or do them in order! The themes are a loose guide, but all discussion is welcome.
This first post will be for introducing yourself and your project(s) and talking about what you’re planning to do during the month. Of course, there’s no obligation to stick to what you’ve set down and no-one will be checking up xD But it can be a nice thought exercise! You’re free to make the goal(s) as broad or as specific as you like – it’s totally up to you.
There’s no set format for this check-in, but here’s one you can use if you’d like (just copy-paste and replace the placeholders with your own answers in the comments):
Also, if anyone would like to answer it, here’s a discussion starter: What interests you about the small/indie web, and how did you learn about or get into it?

You could even include ‘bonus goals’ – more ambitious things you’d like to get to if you have time!)Also, if anyone would like to answer it, here’s a discussion starter: What interests you about the small/indie web, and how did you learn about or get into it?

Project(s): https://aviansoph.com/ and https://linkding.aviansoph.com/bookmarks/shared
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!
