A week of publication and repair â the building gained a room, the labs got back on their feet, and language stayed stubbornly in the eye.

"web joy" â the joy you experience when visiting a website with joyful content and/or have a joyful experience (as a user) on a website, or the joy of creating such a website.
During the beyond tellerand conference this past week, someone mentioned âresponsive web designâ and having just completed IndieWebCamp DĂŒsseldorf, the thought popped in my head that joyful web design should be a named thing, since many of us spent the weekend at IndieWebCamp doing just that.
I mentioned it to @jamesg.blog at a break between talks, we discussed it a bit and agreed that joy is a good motivator, and as creatives we both like creating things that are joyful to experience, and ideally joyful to create.
James blogged it before I got around to it: https://jamesg.blog/2026/05/01/joyful-web-design
That and a zoom chat today was inspiration to name that specific joyful experience âweb joyâ.
Itâs a nod to âmoon joyâ, a mere weeks old phrase many have heard and been inspired by, coined by Mission Control science officer Angela Garcia, and transmitted (spoken) by CAPCOM on shift, Jacki Mahaffey, in reply to the Artemis II astronauts on mission (as noted in a NASA AMA: https://www.reddit.com/r/nasa/comments/1stjt7m/comment/ohw9g9l/). You can hear the âCopy, moon joy.â expression in context at the start of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHUvedAssyE
Much thanks to James for his encouragement to blog âweb joyâ.

* 4/20 W3C AC Meeting (Huangzhou) âChallenging how we see the webâ future of web browsers panel participant (remotely from San Francisco, on the evening of 2026-04-19)
* 4/21-23 Mozilla Leadership Summit (Boston)
* 4/25-26 IndieWebCamp DĂŒsseldorf
* 4/27-28 beyond tellerand DĂŒsseldorf
Somehow squeezed in a few personal events too:
* 4/20 Bostom Marathon cheering â managed to hike a half marathon myself that day!
* 4/26 Balu Brigada concert in Cologne
* 4/29 Cologne Cathedral tower climb
In total:
7 events across 4 cities in 12 days including travel time.
Saw, heard, spoke/designed/coded with so many inspiring people. So many notes, photos, and a few videos. Overall an incredibly positive (if exhausting) experience. It was highly illuminating contrasting the different sets of people, talks, practices etc., some overlapping, across all the events. An incredibly valuable overview perspective.
There's a story I'm writing with a stranger: a street vendor in Tassirin sells bottled memories, and one day finds a jar with her own name on it. Six sections in, no idea where it goes.
That's the whole joy of Half Quill, a thing I shipped six weeks ago. Strangers build stories together, every word human, no algorithmic feed. Built mostly to escape AI everything.
Read the story: https://halfquill.com/stories/0am1xvym?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=launch-post-202605
Being a member of the British Science Fiction Association, I get access to the deep analytical thoughts of academics on the subject. And now this absolute gem has appeared, exploring the diversity of on-line presences available to those wishing to move away from the algorithmic doom-scrolling, and the philosophical drives for these alt-systems. I love this!

Iâve been busy taking care of lots of little things this past week and a half. Fixing bugs from my recent architecture change, little design tweaks to feed posts and my color scheme, cleaning up code, and adding support for `HEIF` and `MPO` uploaded images.

ICYMI: From the AOF Studio New from the Studio: The IndieWeb Is Right. But Should We Trust It? https://www.artoffaceless.com/the-indieweb-is-right-but-should-we-trust-it/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #IndieWeb #TrustIssues #GeographyProblem #ClassIssues #InstitutionalGravity
Founder, developer, lecturer.
A strange combo, honestly.
As a founder, I look at the market and ask if the thing is actually useful.
As a developer, I look at the same thing and ask what will break first.
As a lecturer, I try to explain it clearly and immediately see where my own logic is still messy.
It is tiring.
But it gives a fuller view of product work: problem, code, business, people, and the uncomfortable gap between them.

âAn unfriendly introduction to causal inferenceâ by Prasanna Bhogale
«I wrote a book on causal inference. It is short (under 80 pages), it
is called An Unfriendly Introduction to Causal Inference, and the
hardcover is now live on Amazon.»
I haven't posted a long time, but yesterday I couldn't help but write a post as a response to @daj
Here is my version of "Who knows that you blog?"
