I want to build my own app to reclaim the flow of my life.
I want to live on my own terms again—without noise, without platform-driven rhythms.
It doesn’t need to be perfect like a polished product.
It just needs to be mine, and able to grow with me.
My freedom is living by my own law.

PESOS - IndieWeb

"PESOS is an acronym for Publish Elsewhere, Syndicate (to your) Own Site. It's a syndication model where publishing starts by posting to a 3rd party service, then using infrastructure (e.g. feeds, Micropub, webhooks) to create an archive copy on your site."

I really like personal homepages and have quite a list of them bookmarked. I'll post one every week unless I fall behind this schedule. 😉 So here's Cool Personal Homepages #CPHP Vol. 52: "John D. Duncan III's Homepage" https://cs.gettysburg.edu/~duncjo01/

#SmallWeb #indieweb #homepage #blog #screenshot #retrocomputing

I spent some time automating screenshot previews of the sites I link to in my blogroll. Straightforward with shot-scraper from @simon but more folks have anti-automation tooling that makes some web things harder. Inspired by #IndieWeb Front End Study Hall yesterday. https://artlung.com/blogroll/

the great thing about having a self-hosted music site with zero fees or strings is that i can impulsively upload an album of piano music i impulsively recorded

and you can just listen to it

and i don't need to worry about marketing or fees or optimizing my release schedule for either

so i'll probably do that later today

Got myself a new "proper" domain: quinnmaclay.com.

I guess my little site is all grown up.

I am at #ffconf today! Do come say hi especially as I am not very good at associating social media avatars to a face in real life. 👋

I also have loads of #IndieWeb stickers with me!

Thursday will be time again to collect our minds and hearts (on a Zoom call! Cameras optional!) to make Our WWW do exactly what we want! I love #HTML and #CSS - maybe I can transmit some of that to you. https://events.indieweb.org/2025/11/front-end-study-hall-040-fS7a4ApbCSsa #IndieWeb #SmallWeb Go make a web page!
