Can anyone recommend a Google Analytics alternative that isn’t a privacy nightmare for a personal website?

i am fascinated by this typeface history. as it turns out, Gerald Giampa was the owner of the LTC Spire typeface when it was licensed for use in the GeoWorks operating environment.

i had no idea that he was canadian, and moved his foundry to Prince Edward Island before it was destroyed in a tidal wave. P22 bought his font faces, and designed this absolutely gorgeous traditional web site called The Giampa Tour. it disappeared from the web over 10 years ago, and this is probably the first time it has been seen in a decade. it's full of incredibly nerdy typeface history, including some fantastic rants on how shitty Adobe was to deal with, even back in the late 1980s. 😆

*this* is what the world wide web was made for, and i'm so glad WBM managed to preserve a working copy, as P22 has been out of business for many years - and its website gone with it.

i've rebuilt the entire site using the WBM's snapshot for public viewing here, where it will remain as an online museum and tribute to Gerald Giampa's incredible work:

Do you have a personal website? Any website which is primarily about you, the human being? It can be tiny, or messy, or literally anything.

Let me bookmark it, please! 🙏

New blog post! I talk about what I want from the social internet, the "carcinization" of social media, and positive interactions on the IndieWeb/Fediverse.

I recently implemented Webmentions, so you can interact with it that way if you want.

I had such a great chat with @mike on his Dot Social podcast, where we talked about the future of the web and why I'm a web optimist, why everyone should be a blogger, digital ownership, and decentralized social media.

The full episode is available here https://about.flipboard.com/inside-flipboard/molly-white/ and on PeerTube/YouTube/the usual podcast feeds!

I know right? I'm perfectly happy staying in the #IndieWeb by the way. I haven't looked to see if this has VC funding yet or not, but surely, even VC people would get tired of giving money away and not getting a return? @FeralRobots

A recent post by @bjhess and Manuel Moreale got me thinking about something that had been on my mind lately, so I wrote about it:

Steve took part in #IndieWeb Carnival with his entry discussing the impact of low friction between ideas and writing them down as well as needing a change of scenery from work desk when being creative.

@NemesContent I'm a big fan of MDN Curriculum which includes links to other resources. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn The #IndieWeb has recently started an event called Front End Study Hall -- mostly about CSS but it's also about HTML and I bet we could get you going. One thing @tantek.com says is that HTML tags are like punctuation, and if you can learn new punctuation HTML is a bit less daunting. Check https://events.indieweb.org for the next Study Hall!

Man, there are days I want to make website so bad, but I need to learn html. Anyone got any suggestions on how to start without it being so daunting?

As an opinion piece, for forums to have a better chance in the modern #IndieWeb I think their UX needs to be improved. The old conventions, and the (often odd) responsive workarounds added on top of the old layouts must go.

I think for a multitude of historical reasons most forums have been worked on by general programmers, not so much by web (front-end) specialists.

We should have more small forums, they serve their own purpose, but we should also bring in some new fresh life to the space.
