smallwebSomehow 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?

Date: 2024-09-01 01:45 am (UTC)What interests you about the small/indie web, and how did you learn about or get into it? I was one of the first in my artist circles to really make an effort to build my personal website around 2018 or so during tumblr's porn ban. it's only become more and more valuable as social media deteriorates (especially with many sites dropping kink art). being able to merge my longstanding fondness for fanshrines and JP artists sites back in the early 2000's with this archival process has been deeply rewarding both from a "self sufficient with tech" standpoint and "learning to value my artworks more" side..
Project(s): archiving my artworks using tegalog, a JP microblogging backend that can be used to replace wordpress (and it's ai scraping/automatic updates).
What are you hoping to work on for SWS? While the URL will change in the next two months, you can see the birds-eye progress of re-uploading all of my art here. :> (some images will be NSFW, but ideally blurred - still figuring out the technology) https://kradeelav.nfshost.com/diary/tegalog.cgi?mode=gallery

Date: 2024-09-01 09:16 am (UTC)I feel this! My experience has been similar, with fanworks in place of artworks.
Also, it's extremely smart to shift onto a space that you control in order to publish NSFW stuff! Goodness knows I've seen enough artists despairing about porting from social network to social network because of prohibitions on NSFW. I know that a lot of the time it's also about exposure and finding an audience, but at least with your own site, you can avoid losing any work if you get banned, right?
