First of all thank you so much for everything! And for having pre-made questions for us to answer, cuz i def need that help to think of things to comment...!
What did you think of the event format? (Regular 'check-in' posts with engagement/replies in the comments)
I liked it! Checking in thru the week felt nice, and then refreshing the page the next day to see what else people have made. I feel like people who post later in the week may not get as many eyes on their post though, so I wanna see if DW has email notifications for posts within a community 🤔
What did you think of the check-in frequency? (Weekly check-ins for a total of 5 during the month). Too many/too few/about right?
Just right! 5 feels perfect, especially with the retrospective and wrap up to digest everything.
What did you think of the themes (goal-setting, troubleshooting, recs, etc.) - are there any others you'd like to see?
Loved all the themes. Felt like they fit in perfectly with a "narrative" of us trying to get stuff together, doing research, and then finding help. I especially love the rec theme, I love browsing curated links! As for other themes... Maybe one week focusing on accessible HTML (for screen readers and general best practices)? CSS styling?
What did you think of the timing and duration? (I like the name "Small Web September", but I'd still be open to feedback about how September works for everyone, timing-wise! And who knows, maybe there'll be ideas for events at other times of the year... 🗓️)
Do you have any other thoughts or suggestions?
The timing was good, I don't think there's too much other stuff happening in September and 1 month is good to get one small project done! I'd love to see other events at different times. Maybe some very small events, like a week-long bash, or even a flash weekend where everyone huddles for what time they can find from friday to sunday?
Anything is cool really, I'm just glad this is on DreamWidth cuz it seems like almost everything else is on twitter, tumblr, or discord and i can't keep up with those sites! Thanks again for a smooth fun event where I got a lot done and got to see so many other people's marvelous work.
