Thanks for this post. I checked Fraidycat out and it solves many issues that I consider broken with social medias these days. Your personal website made me incredibly nostalgic and almost depressed, longing back to a simpler time in my life.

Both of your projects will serve as inspiration for myself. Your personal site especially as it feels creative and liberated, things I strive for in my personal life.

Thank you.

Oh don’t be depressed - my messy site took five years to make and you would be disgusted at the guts of it. And besides, there are many many days still in the future - I just flicked through my calendar and couldn’t seem to reach the end - so there is time to unlock more for you. Your site looks good, so I think you are underestimating yourself, which is lying Sami - it’s lying.

Hah thanks man. I do like what I'm currently building for myself as well, but it lacks a certain IDGAF attitude and it's not different in any ways. Plain and vanilla, which is fine for conveying information but there's nothing creative about it.

The indie web movement with self hosting simpler sites, webrings and RSS are a nice blast from the past and I hope that the issues we've seen with Facebook, Medium et al will bring back all the good thing's we've seemingly almost lost. RSS should be mandatory.
