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/ | pard68 wrote: | 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. | [deleted] | bovermyer wrote: | 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. | dylan604 wrote: | 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. | zerojames wrote: | 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 Nurnberg at the end of October | (https://events.indieweb.org/2023/10/indiewebcamp- | nuremberg-2...). | zerojames wrote: | 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? | ngcc_hk wrote: | 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 ___________________________________________________________________ (page generated 2023-09-17 23:00 UTC)
