Hello everyone! I have been co-hosting the Europe Homebrew Website Club for the last year and a half.

During the calls we come together to chat about websites: what you are building, what you want to build, and how you can build it! If you are interested in the web, I (and the rest of community!) would love to see you!

P.S. My site is https://jamesg.blog -- what's your domain name?

pard683• 3 years ago

Love the colors and your graphs.

Here's mine, https://drollery.org (I have not put much effort into the mobile version, it's a bit wonky since a recent styling update, best enjoyed on desktop). This is mostly in exercise in "why not?"

zerojames23• 3 years ago

I love all the little details on your site. The sound effects on your post list made me startled me at first then made me laugh :)

simonw• 3 years ago

Mine is https://simonwillison.net/ - I should really come along to one of these some time.

zerojames23• 3 years ago

Your website is delightful. Please do!

We host a Europe and US meetup online every week and every two weeks, respectively, in addition to in person events. If there isn't an in-person event near you, reach out in https://indieweb.org/discuss to see if anyone would be interested in hosting one.

rednafi13• 3 years ago

I've been following Simon on every platform under the sun for the past few years and learned so many bits and pieces of tricks from his content.

IDK how you write so many high quality stuff at such a fast pace while also doing a significant amount of OSS development work. Datasette and friends are such a joy to use.

You inspired me to get started with writing three years ago and I never stopped: https://rednafi.com.

yabbs• 3 years ago

Love the sparkline next to number of posts.

zerojames23• 3 years ago

Why thank you! I am using https://www.kryogenix.org/days/2012/12/30/simple-svg-sparkli... for the sparklines. All credit goes to Stuart who made the SVG!

The MediaWiki sparkline is powered by the same thing and https://sparkline.jamesg.blog (open source link in site footer).

hypertexthero2• 3 years ago

Cool!

I’m at https://hypertexthero.com

One suggestion I have is to consider using https://meet.jit.si/ instead of Zoom for meetings. GitHub link: https://jitsi.github.io/handbook/

zerojames23• 3 years ago

Oooh! I love the cloud animation on your website!

RealCodingOtaku• 3 years ago

Yeah, many times I was keen to join the IndieWeb events, but I was put off by the requirement of Zoom. Jitsi would be perfect for IndieWeb as one of their principles is “owning your data”.

And ooh, I'm at https://codingotaku.com

vinc• 3 years ago

Same thing, I don't want to use Zoom when a good open source alternative exists

catgirlinspace• 3 years ago

mine is https://catgirlin.space ^^ been working on building a new site though over the past week :3

also have seen you around a lot in the indieweb chat!!

zerojames23• 3 years ago

I love https://catgirlin.space/posts/building-an-image-splitter/! I saw a piece of art in a gallery that was a photo, divided into pieces like this. Then, all the pieces were shuffled. It made for a really cool effect.

rednafi13• 3 years ago

Love the tone of the contents.

hatsix• 3 years ago

https://dusty.is

it's nothing special, but I love the domain and paths

hollander2• 3 years ago

But dusty.is/a/404/gamer…

rednafi13• 3 years ago

Reminds me of https://motherfuckingwebsite.com

zerojames23• 3 years ago

I love your site! One note: https://dusty.is/a/gamer doesn't return a page.

spondyl• 3 years ago

I'm over at https://utf9k.net although I've had the same layout for long enough that I feel like it needs a bit more personality hah.

The little live player widget in the top right is my pride and joy :')

https://github.com/marcus-crane/utf9k for the source and https://github.com/marcus-crane/gunslinger for the cludgy backend that powers the live player

rednafi13• 3 years ago

The rough edges on the site reminds of the good ol' 90s web which I never experienced. My experience with the early web is limited to the Wayback Machine.

I went with an off-the-shelf, single-column theme and build mine on similar principles of simplicity and personal touch ups: https://rednafi.com

zerojames23• 3 years ago

Wow! This is so cool.

P.S. I love Billions, which at the time of writing is highlighted on your homepage.

leviathant• 3 years ago

Hey James - I appreciate your enthusiasm about this idea. I technically never stopped https://www.theninhotline.com, but after a few years, it was clear that social networks like Twitter and Facebook had taken over as our primary channel.

About two years ago, I decided to rebuild the site (partially to get some hands-on experience building a PWA) and have basically been doing a gut-job of the frontend. I removed tracking pixels, frameworks and other javascript cruft, and brought focus to the RSS feed again. I spent time building a library of website 'cover art' too, which I cycle in periodically - typically when I post a new update to the blog. There's a lot more cleaning to do, but I'm happy to be actively iterating on the ol' website again.

Oh, and my 'personal site' is https://www.bitrotten.com

I'm based in Philadelphia, but I've got a lot going on IRL compared to when I launched this site 24 years ago, and I don't think I could do a regular meetup. But keep on fighting the good fight!

zerojames23• 3 years ago

I get excited about all things web :D

it was clear that social networks like Twitter and Facebook had taken over as our primary channel

There are a lot of people in the IndieWeb who care about, and are working toward, building different ways to interact on the web. I follow blogs and people with Monocle (https://monocle.p3k.io), a social reader powered by Microsub (draft spec) and Micropub (https://indieweb.org/Micropub)

I can like posts on websites in my feed then the likes show up on my bookmarks site (https://jamesg.coffee). If a site supports Webmention (https://indieweb.org/Webmention), the author will be notified that I liked their post.

I am always happy to talk about social interactions on the web -- there is so much work we can do!

I spent time building a library of website 'cover art' too, which I cycle in periodically - typically when I post a new update to the blog. There's a lot more cleaning to do, but I'm happy to be actively iterating on the ol' website again.

I _love_ this!

I don't think I could do a regular meetup

We have a lot of people who stop by for a meetup every month or two online. All interested in the web are welcome to come on whatever cadence suits you; whether you come once a week, month, or year! There is also a community chat if you prefer text at https://indieweb.org/discuss

(Apologies for all the links. As it may be noted, I get excited easily!)

matheusmoreira4• 3 years ago

what's your domain name?

It matches my user name: https://matheusmoreira.com

what you are building

Just a static site where I write stuff I think about. My idea is to write a new page every time I get the feeling I've written the same HN comment multiple times. Currently working on posts about ads and copyright which are topics I've commented on many times.

what you want to build

I want to improve the website design. Haven't managed to create a header that doesn't look ugly yet.

how you can build it

Some time ago I made a comment here on HN recommending pugjs for static sites and writing HTML by hand:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37019175

Not long afterwards I realized it has been unmaintained for years. So I forked it and took over maintenance. Deleted the parts I didn't need. Now it's a new variant of the language and it's powering my own site.

https://github.com/matheusmoreira/pugneum

https://github.com/matheusmoreira/matheusmoreira.github.io

rambambram• 3 years ago

Have been following your feed for a while now. Got really inspired by the HWC and started a programming meetup in my city. Also because I build https://heyhomepage.com which fits the niche. Might see some of you in Nurnberg!

fjfaase• 3 years ago

My domain is https://www.iwriteiam.nl/ . It is just plain HTML with some JavaScript for some pages, some animations, and some functionality.

I am happy with my design, which has not changed in the past twenty years, but I am open for suggestions about improvements.

qubyte• 3 years ago

I used to be a regular in-person attendee here in Brighton pre-pandemic. My site is statically generated with some IndieWeb enhancements (webmentions in and out, micropub, posse, etc.) I mostly use it as a hidden log of my study sessions and for notes. A few times a year I'll write something longer form.

https://qubyte.codes/

pabloem• 3 years ago

I love the indieweb philosophy. I'm a bit off the topic of the tech sites shared here, but I have a recipe site (mostly from around the world) with my partner. This is the domain (in spanish, sorry!): https://www.foodisea.com

zerojames23• 3 years ago

This is amazing! We talked about recipes at Homebrew Website Club a few weeks ago. We asked ourselves "how could we share our own recipes online?"

The layout of your recipes and the focus on the process without extraneous information makes me want to learn more about cooking. I have always been scared off by recipe sites. Your site looks like a great entry point for me.

okaleniuk2• 3 years ago

Hi James. Mine is https://wordsandbuttons.online and I'm definitely zooming in <s>this</s> next Wednesday.

zerojames23• 3 years ago

I _love_ your site!

I have a question about https://wordsandbuttons.online/lexical_differential_highligh.... What does this part mean:

Ideally, the smaller the lexical difference, the greater the color difference should be.

I am fascinated by different ways to represent code visually.

maurits• 3 years ago

I'd be happy to join. I make everyday slice of life pics at https://www.maurits.ch

Its in dire need of new back-nend.

mbork_pl2• 3 years ago

Hi, I'd like to come, too (virtually ofc). A few months ago I started a (very minimalist) blog [0], using a very simple blogging engine I wrote myself [1] in under 400 lines of Emacs Lisp.

[0] https://crimsonelevendelightpetrichor.net/

[1] https://gitlab.com/mbork_mbork_pl/org-clive

zerojames23• 3 years ago

I love that you have written your own blog generator! I have, too, but it is in Python.

Our next meetup is online on Wednesday, with events on Europe and US timezones (https://events.indieweb.org). No need to RSVP; just show up!

bojanvidanovic• 3 years ago

Hi James! Love your implementation of instagram stories, I had the same idea but never got time to implement it. Looking forward joining of your meetups.

BTW my website is https://bojanvidanovic.com

manuelmoreale4• 3 years ago

I doubt I'll ever attend but it's a great initiative. I might blog about it just to spread the message.

what's your domain name?

Lives at https://manuelmoreale.com

zerojames23• 3 years ago

Your People and Blogs newsletter looks great. I just signed up!

egonschiele2• 3 years ago

Looks like the Minnesota chapter is not very active, but if there are other people from the Twin Cities on here, I'd be interested in meeting up. adit.io is my blog.

bovermyer6• 3 years ago

I'm not in the Minneapolis area anymore, but I can tell you there's a healthy amount of interest there if you're willing to organize it.

velcrovan2• 3 years ago

Do you know how we might get in touch with interested people if we WERE willing to organize it?

velcrovan2• 3 years ago

I’m in Minneapolis too. I’ll hit you up on Mastodon.

egonschiele2• 3 years ago

Unfortunately my Mastodon server is down. Please email me! The address is on https://www.adit.io.

sysadm1n• 3 years ago

I find most of these sites follow the brutalist web design trend[0]. Nothing wrong with that. In the end, if the site is user-friendly and does what its supposed to, and is otherwise easy to navigate and is readable, then why not?

So much of the web are these copycat 'zines' which are jam-packed with all sorts of bells and whistles and have a sidebar packed with ADs and the content is laced with affiliate links so they can 'monetize' their web presence.

I enjoy other people's little 'corner of the web' which isn't housed in a walled garden social media platform, like the bulk of content these days.

[0] https://designlab.com/blog/examples-brutalism-in-web-design/

pard683• 3 years ago

Ya I love finding sites that are uniquely someone's, not SEO optimized knock-offs. I personally might not find the design appealing, but I appreciate when someone makes their site theirs. Likewise, most will not enjoy my site's design, but it's mine.

julianeon• 3 years ago

I wanted to note that homebrew websites and SEO optimized websites aren't necessarily opponents here, or in opposite corners. They are often the same tech under the hood.

Case in point: SvelteJS. It's absolutely great for a homebrew website. It's also maintained by the NYTimes, which I subscribe to and like myself, but which also has a large chunk of its business in the SEO optimized website category (see: Wirecutter).

It does it in a classy way which doesn't feel so much like ads are being stuffed down your throat - but that business is SEO optimized down to its bones.

Just skimming the front page of Wirecutter now, a NYTimes owned property, shows articles like "The Best Sunscreens for Your Face", "The best beard trimmers we tested side by side surrounded by their attachments", "The Best Women’s Razors (for Every Body)" - these are all so textbook and by the SEO playbook they could be taught in a course.

matheusmoreira4• 3 years ago

So it's really called brutalist web design? Someone mentioned it to me on IRC but I thought it was just the adjective he used to describe the https://motherfuckingwebsite.com. Had no idea this had turned into an entire design trend.

tough• 3 years ago

I'd call it a spin off of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brutalist_architecture

rednafi13• 3 years ago

People conflate brutalist design with user hostile UI. If a site doesn't wrap properly one a decent phone, it's user hostile. The brutalist moniker mostly means low-JS and less formulaic sites that aren't SEO optimized to the bones.

rednafi13• 3 years ago

Lol, a blog about the brutalist design on an excesssivist site.

TheCapeGreek• 3 years ago

Wow, you weren't kidding.

Signup modal as soon as the page finished loading.

Cookie popup on the left.

"Schedule a call" CTA popup on the right.

Exit intent full screen modal.

dylan604• 3 years ago

This is way more organized than anything I have seen like this before. They have a section on how to host a meeting with before/during/after meeting tips. That definitely gives the impression they've got their act together as a group and are trying to make it easier for newbies.

zerojames23• 3 years ago

Homebrew Website Club is 10 years old now! (I have been going for ~2 years, and hosting for 1.5 years)

Most of our meetings are online now, but we have a longer, two-day in-person event coming up in Nürnberg at the end of October (https://events.indieweb.org/2023/10/indiewebcamp-nuremberg-2...).

hollander2• 3 years ago

A Website Fest

MandieD• 3 years ago

This is the first I've heard about your event, or the preceding border:none ... despite living in Nürnberg and generally being on the lookout for English-speaking events.

I'll put both in my department's "General" Teams channel, as nearly half of us are not native German speakers - and most of the native German speakers are perfectly happy to get their web dev content in English.

eclecticfrank• 3 years ago

A couple of years ago I visited one of their meetings [Indieweb] in Germany. It was great fun. They are an incredibly friendly, open-minded and organised bunch.

bovermyer6• 3 years ago

I think I might try and join in on one of the virtual meetups. I'm in North Carolina, so hard to find something in my time zone, but eh.

My site is one of those that modern folks call "virtual gardens" sometimes. Love to have new visitors, and I'm allergic to SEO for my personal stuff, haha.

https://benovermyer.com is my site.

ta8645• 3 years ago

Hey, I like your site! Especially like the selection of fonts you linked, thanks. Also checked out the static site generator you linked to, and thought you might want to know that their website gives an error unless you include the "www." prefix in the url.

bovermyer6• 3 years ago

Oh, thanks! My browser just autocorrects with the www. subdomain so I never thought about it.

nvy• 3 years ago

Hi Ben,

You should know that your headshot photo doesn't scale down correctly on Firefox/Pixel 7. Currently it overflows the right side of the page causing horizontal scrolling.

Probably not what you were going for.

littleweep• 3 years ago

Same in safari on iOS 16

isoprophlex• 3 years ago

Fantastic, envy inducing beard tho

bovermyer6• 3 years ago

That's good to know, I'll have to fix that. Thanks!

matheusmoreira4• 3 years ago

Really like the web directory. We should bring those back.

bovermyer6• 3 years ago

I run another site that's a pure web directory for tabletop RPG content generators - https://rpggen.dev

manuelmoreale4• 3 years ago

I'm gonna add you to my list of potential guests for my https://peopleandblogs.com because I really enjoy your site. So you'll get an email from me at some point in the future.

ngcc_hk• 3 years ago

Not much intro. Can anyone join even if you do yours on GitHub ?

I will check out the London Meetup this wed. Brighton one links to this Wordpress “challenge” https://60minute.site/ and something about etherpad https://etherpad.org/

Finally find this obvious link https://indieweb.org/Getting_Started

zerojames23• 3 years ago

You can join irrespsective of where your site is hosted or what technologies you use! We have people who use static sites (like me!), WordPress, dynamic sites, micro.blog, and so much more in the community.

I'm not sure why the Brighton one has that link. I'll take a look. The challenge you mentioned -- build (or add to) a site in an hour -- will be hosted in two weeks (see events.indieweb.org for more); last time we had someone make a bookmarks page, a PNG header reader, a game with computer vision (this one was me!), a site on the Gemini protocol, and more.

Etherpad is where we take notes during sessions. It is a collaborative, open source editor.

codazoda• 3 years ago

I’ve never seen this before but I think it’s right up my alley (save the part where I’m pretty introverted as far as meetups and video calls).

I just went down a rabbit hole looking at the RSVP specs, h-cards (which I remember from way back but thought was dead), and comments. And, I need to go deeper!

zerojames23• 3 years ago

We also have a chat at https://indieweb.org/discuss that you can join if you prefer text.

h-cards are still alive and well, and are used by technologies Webmention [1] (decentralized likes, comments, bookmarks, RSVPs, and more) as a profile! My site has one :)

[1] https://indieweb.org/Webmention

js98• 3 years ago

Sounds like I should join! This is something I knew should exist, but hadn’t found it yet.

Will sign up for one of the events, for now feel free to already look at https://Jakobs.dev

ChrisMarshallNY• 3 years ago

This looks like a great idea.

For myself, back in the ‘90s, I was really into spending a bunch of time, hand-crafting Web sites, but these days, I just use rather lightly-modified WordPress sites.

Anyone remember the famous SatireWire Cubist Web Site story[0]?

[0] https://www.satirewire.com/cubists-launch-unnavigable-web-si...

0x3444ac53• 3 years ago

I made this site mainly to link to stuff I like

http://squidleafs.xyz

operator-name• 3 years ago

This is beautiful. The simple paragraph accompanied with links to "The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows" so eloquently expresses what I've been mulling on.

yuhmahp• 3 years ago

Can I join if I use Notion as a backend for my blog?

The rest of my site is close to hand made: https://huy.today/

uneekname2• 3 years ago

Yes, it is a welcoming group that would love to learn about your site!

zerojames23• 3 years ago

Absolutely! You can join no matter tool(s) what you use for your website, from WordPress to HTML sites to Notion sites! I'm now curious how Notion works as a back-end!

rednafi13• 3 years ago

Love how many of the sites listed here have brutalist low-JS design. The only thing I despise more than the new social media focused internet is, JS-heavy blogs containing one post that explains how that monstrosity was created.

Then after a few months the author will rewrite the blog again with a different framework and add another entry explaining why and how they did it.

Here's mine. Built with Hugo and deployed with GitHub Pages. The whole publication process is automated with GitHub Actions and takes a few key strokes to go from an idea to execution.

https://rednafi.com

jofla_net• 3 years ago

Isn't it astounding how much more brittle those react-y monstrosities are?! If you look twice some toolbar will silently begin to fail loading and you'll have to bump your browser to get the full experience back again.

While back someone posted a web1.0 randomizer, everything still worked, granted its static but, its like those old 90s pages are the new time capsules.

www.jofla.net

rednafi13• 3 years ago

I like single column multi page blogs where folks just list out a bunch of heartfelt pieces they wrote about something and fired it into the aether.

This UI maximalism is like Marvel movies—tons of CGI and fancy visuals with poor storytelling. But at least writing these FE frameworks and JS evangelism pays the bill quite well.

wildrhythms• 3 years ago

It's because mindless businesstypes looked at Apple iOS over a decade ago and said "our website [with 1/9999999th the budget] should have the same polish and look and feel as that!"

cookiengineer2• 3 years ago

Honestly I don't think a low JS usage makes a website better. For me, I always cherished a separation of concerns approach, where I am trying to make a website work as good as possible with HTML and CSS only (including print stylesheets).

JS on the other hand is for me where the fun interaction comes from, where the little details can shine through, where visualizations can be made interactive so the user can play around and really start to understand what's going on.

But yeah, I guess in the golden age of React and Angular, I also understand why people hade JS bloated websites.

Here's mine, there is multiple scavenger hunts, games and challenges hidden on the website and/or in the code:

https://cookie.engineer

zerojames23• 3 years ago

Your website is delightful. I love the Recipe Creator feature on your projects page.

Your approach to using JS is like mine. I work with HTML and CSS first then sometimes add JS to progressively enhance a page (i.e. add dark mode, add hovercards on links, make emojis appear on different days of the year).

hagreet• 3 years ago

I'm confused by that cookie banner. Is it a joke or not? What do you mean by "Do you consent to sharing cookies?" are sharing cookies a special kind of cookie or do did you just mean storing cookies?

brettermeier• 3 years ago

There are websites listed on the page? Where? Am I blind?

rednafi13• 3 years ago

I meant the comment section. Plenty of people have shared their personal sites here and it's delightful to go through them.

madeofpalk2• 3 years ago

"Low JS" and "brutalist design" are completely different concerns, no?

rednafi13• 3 years ago

Every brutalist site is lowJS site but not every lowJS site is brutalist.

renegat0x0• 3 years ago

A list od blogs mentioned by hacker news, some were adres manually by me:

https://github.com/rumca-js/Django-link-archive/blob/main/an...

uneekname2• 3 years ago

Heck yeah! I attended HWC Americas regularly for about a year, I need to log back on and catch up with folks. It's a great crowd, everyone has their own interests and goals and it's fun to cheer others on. When you spend so much time hacking on your own website, it means the world to get positive feedback!

If you nerd out about implementing protocols, there are some IndieWebers that will go out of their way to help you develop or test new ideas. We'd stay up into the night getting our servers to talk to each other in some never-seen-before way. Good times!

mnky9800n• 3 years ago

Actually it would be cool to see a Hugo github pages tutorial if you know of one.

This is my site: https://mnky9800n.github.io/

I'm especially happy with https://mnky9800n.github.io/booklist/

Which uses a Google spreadsheet as the database for new books I read. Make it easy to update.

zerojames23• 3 years ago

Feel free to write one if you are interested! We're big advocates of POSSE (https://indieweb.org/POSSE): publish on your own site, syndicate elsewhere. If you write a guide, add it to the wiki so others can learn.

A community member wrote a guide on how to add different social web standards to a Hugo site (https://www.amitgawande.com/2018/02/10/204300.html).

nirvael• 3 years ago

Made my website myself to showcase my AI art projects (taking some inspiration from sites like David Rudnick's and Gwern's). Interested to see what people think.

Gud• 3 years ago

Shameless self promotion: https://www.stonkys.com

Essentially I write whatever I feel like writing about.

davidcollantes2• 3 years ago

I ramble with small notes at https://netbros.com/. It is using Hugo. If anyone is in Orlando, FL, and interested on a meet-up, I am all for it!

jslpc2• 3 years ago

I love your site! I especially like the minimal design. I've got my own personal blog of sorts for medium-to-long form posts but have been wanting to implement a way to have smaller notes like this on the same website.

At the moment, my site only has a small handful of posts from the past four years (6 to be exact), but that's mostly due to thinking my thoughts aren't "original" enough to warrant regular-length posts/articles, which I know probably isn't exactly true.

Yours is really encouraging me to start using mine more often regardless of word count or page length. Thank you for sharing!

davidcollantes2• 3 years ago

Thank you! I went to your site, and liked the minimal design as well. If you need any help that I could provide, let me know!

ulf-77723• 3 years ago

Like the idea and approach of meetups.

I had a personal blog back in the days, started out with selfhtml and went from there. Somewhere on the journey WordPress came out and I transitioned to it. About 2 years ago I started a personal blog about rowing, since I bought a rowing machine. The blog is written in German, yet often people autotranslate it with Google to match their language, since rowing seems to be a worldwide niche topic. You may find it here: https://harder-better-faster-stronger.de

austin-cheney2• 3 years ago

Here is mine, but pleased be warned it’s not low JS.

https://prettydiff.com

rednafi13• 3 years ago

Love it. It's different and the retro windows vibe doesn't feel too overwhelming. One nit, clicking on configuration brings up the page as as overlay, which is a bit hard to read on mobile devices. Tested on iPhone 14 PM safari.

austin-cheney2• 3 years ago

Thank you for the feedback. My phone is super old, so the background blurring effect and a few other visual things do not work on it. The JS works great on the phone, so I was hoping on newer phones the presentation just works like on desktop.

frankcaron• 3 years ago

I love this.

Well down the road of this journey myself:

https://www.frankcaron.com/blog.html

Working on killing a lot of JS, albeit my 10 year old Bootstrap theme still has a bunch that's not really necessary.

shepherdjerred2• 3 years ago

Sounds like fun! I'm trying to get into blogging. It's a lot of work!

https://sjer.red/

rednafi13• 3 years ago

Love how responsive, simple, and lowJS the UI is. Also, "let's grab a coffee" in the footer is a nice touch. Unsolicited advice: automate everything to the point where you can write some markdown, git push, and the CI should take care of the whole deployment. That way it wouldn't feel too much work. I built mine with Hugo and deploy it through GitHub Pages. It's trivial to publish something now.

site: https://rednafi.com source: https://github.com/rednafi/rednafi.com

shepherdjerred2• 3 years ago

There's actually zero JS, aside from one analytics script.

It is fully automated! I just need to run one command (earthly --push +deploy --prod=true) to build and deploy

rcarr• 3 years ago

I’d love it if the indie web guys made some kind of Astro style static site framework with built in components you can just drop in for integration with the various fediverse services. Every time I look at the instructions, it looks like a time sink trying to get everything set up.

jslpc2• 3 years ago

Since we're all sharing our corners of the web, I guess I'll link mine as well.

I only have 6 posts over 4 years, mostly due to me thinking my ideas aren't "original" enough to warrant lengthy write-ups, but I know that's not exactly true.

Anyway, here's mine:

https://jakesulpice.com/

ninefoxgambit• 3 years ago

I love this. I'm a huge fan of static site generators and simple, authentic designs. It looks like lot of people who dig the indieweb philosophy use Jekyll and Hugo which is great, because they are still such amazing SSG's. Projects like this make me hopeful that everything wont be replaced by JS frameworks or Nextjs etc. For those interested

I design and build a variety of open source themes for Jekyll and Hugo at https://github.com/zerostaticthemes and I also offer some premium themes at https://www.zerostatic.io.
