Small Web September Check-In 5: Wrap-Up!

[enchantedsleeper]

And now, the end is near... And so I face the final check-in... 🎶

It's already time for our very last check-in for Small Web September!

If you can believe it, we're already on the last day of Small Web September. How is everyone doing? Maybe you feel super organised and productive and have hit every single one of your goals - or maybe you feel like there simply hasn't been enough time in the month to do what you wanted to do. (I feel you 100%). Maybe it's somewhere in the middle!

Whatever your status, congrats on getting to this point and for taking part in the challenge! Even if you feel like you didn't hit enough of your goals, setting out to do something new with your small web project(s) is awesome on its own. Taking part in the comments and community around SWS is excellent! (I'm totally unbiased with this one, of course :D) Or maybe you're making plans for what you can accomplish when your schedule lets up a bit.

Here are some questions to use for this check-in:

• What did you work on during Small Web September?
• What's next for your small web plans? Where will you go from here?

This is the fifth of five ‘check-in’/comment points that will be published during the event, but there’s no cut-off point for leaving comments on these. You can add something at any time, and you don’t need to comment on every one or do them in order! The themes are a loose guide, but all discussion is welcome.

In a few days, I'll also post a feedback post where people can share how they found the challenge and maybe give some thoughts on the next iteration (which, all being well, I'd love to run again!). Thank you all for taking part and making this a fantastic challenge! I hope you've enjoyed it <3

So coming in from the "indie web" more than the "fan" community-
I played a bit on easy mode, finishing up a site I had built part of the UI for:
It's dessigned to be THE simplest online poll/survey app, and it's free to use:

https://kirk.is/polling/

I even made a youtube video to run through its use: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBJH-UT6ISw

so, famously programmers "scratch their own itch" with stuff they make, and it's already been good for a poll for my band.

At the risk of breaking its minimalism - the one other person who has an interest in it asked me to add "ranked choice voting" - it's a little rougher but it works - https://kirk.is/rcv-polling/

(so that's a little re-oderable widget and then it runs the math to make more fair elections: you can see the results of a BIG election test data at https://kirk.is/rcv-polling/view/?prez ) (results at bottom once it loads)

Woo, congrats on getting it up and running! I enjoyed your video on how to use it - it looks nice and versatile while also being pleasingly simple visually. I immediately made a silly poll to share with my friends xD

Also, getting things done on a project you've already started is still very much an achievement!
