It was 13 years ago when I registered fourtonfish.com, which I've used as my internet home for the following 11 years, before switching to stefanbohacek.com.
How did you pick the domain name for your personal website?
I found https://buildexcellentwebsit.es extremely insightful and inspiring! It pushed me to finally completely restructure my personal website’s #CSS, after many years of mess.
Unfortunately, though, I find the massive use of all those calc() and clamp() functions to be quite heavy in terms of performance… #Lighthouse gave the website a very bad performance score (see screenshot). It even seems that while scrolling the page it lags (😳) even if it’s super simple and built with pure #HTML and CSS!
Do you have any ideas or suggestions? 🤔
Thank you so much for all the interesting things you share! ❤️🚀
(The current unstable development version of my website is at https://dev.tommi.space/, I am using the homepage as reference)
My #personalWebsite (https://tommi.space), even though relatively simple and basic, has a lot of technical debt (#CSS especially), and I am getting crazy cleaning it up…
Here's all the links to pages that inspired me this week and the people behind them.
Like I've been saying, there are some seriously awesome people out there on the webs doing very fun cool stuff. And I'm grateful they're sharing it with all of us. Thanks to you all!
Expanding on some recent posts on Mastodon, I wrote my entry for this month's IndieWeb Carnival (topic: Digital Relationships).
TL;DR — Words are crucial to build a sense of online community, however many of us have been using them straight out of a soulless corporate lingo in order to sell ourselves as a product.
Ken Zinser encourages to publish "cornerstone pages" on personal websites and blogs, i.e. pages with standardized URLs and well defined content such as /about, /blogroll, /contact, /now, /photos, and more.
Does your website have a booklog or reading list of any kind? I am looking for inspiration since I want to redesign mine from a simple table to something a bit more fun.
Please link your #blog if it has something like this!
I finally have a tiny home on the internet again, dedicated to what I am passionate about, and filled with what I am reading, writing, and working on (coming soon).
This is not just a designer's portfolio it is a representation of myself. I got inspired by loads of folks, but especially @matthiasott, his posts and newsletter has been among the driving forces to finish my personal website. 😊 #indieweb
I also set up a newsletter on #buttondown called Datest (https://buttondown.email/philipp) which I will write casually to share updates about my site, writings, and interesting links.
