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?

Excited to make stuff!
Date: 2024-09-01 02:32 pm (UTC)Project(s): Further work on my personal site, and an image processor to create woodcut/halftone illustrations from pictures.
What are you hoping to work on for SWS?: For my personal site I want to improve my resume/portfolio setup and redo my personal web ring. With the image processor, I would like to get a working output to look close to my reference
What interests you about the small/indie web, and how did you learn about or get into it? I have lately been learning (and re-learning) about making the web more sustainable, both in ecological terms and in making it worth visiting and exploring. I am a professional web developer, and want to make my craft better, but I'm also just tired of corporate platforms. I've been especially interested in permacomputing, self-hosting, and native HTML/CSS/JS tooling and how to bring that into my work and especially into the projects I do in my free time. I am interested in making the web better than it has ever been.

Date: 2024-09-04 06:49 pm (UTC)I haven't heard of permacomputing yet, thanks for mentioning it. I'm slowly exploring their site, it's interesting reading.
I've peeked into your page and I really love the "Abolish landlords" pixel art! I actually mentioned it to a colleague today, when discussing a housing shortage in our city. "No one gets seconds till everybody gets a home" is such a catchy phrase, I'm definitely gonna use it again in the future.
