Following on from this excellent article, would other HN users care to share the URLs of their personal webspaces? Mine is: http://www.jaruzel.com (yes, I know it's not SSL'd!)

My homepage is https://jan.bio. Not much content here, but some more on my gopher hole. Gopher seems to have a renaissance these days. Browsing gopher is a nice activity to relax after work as a web developer. No tracking, no javascript, no ads, no images, no web fonts. Just content.

Mine is https://www.chrisvogt.me. It's been my online experiment space since 2012. Right now it's a dashboard/blog showing data pulled from my social profiles on Goodreads, Instagram, and GitHub.

My personal website is my therapy. It's an art project. It's an attempt to think much differently about what a personal website should be: https://n0thingness.com

This reminds me of my site back in 2006. It was an art project, not unlike yours. It was not in english, but in language barely anybody speaks (a few million speakers). And unlike your retrospect, it was about beginning of a journey not completely unlike yours.

What i'm saying is that your site hit a string in me. I like it.

Just be careful to manage your expectations. This idea won't solve the central problem of the attention economy - low average attention per unit of content. Modern social networks are actually better at that, because they entice people to spend attention on lots of content. Getting hundreds of views on your YouTube video, Facebook status or Medium post is much easier than on your personal site. That's how the "new we…

> getting views This is the disconnect between the modern commercial web and the real web. Personal sites aren't usually about gettting views, making money, or grabbing attention. Those are profit motives. Personal sites are about putting something out there you care about. It doesn't matter who, if anyone at all, sees it. It doesn't matter if your site only has 90% uptime. Or if it looks weird and only works in some…

Many people create content to achieve some other goal, like activism, education, or building a business, which usually benefits from many other people seeing the content.

Could you put all your original content on your personal site, then use Twitter, Facebook, etc. to promote it?

https://sequoia.makes.software Mostly technical posts. Roll-your-own SSG, naturally[0]. If you type "resume" you see my resume :) Comments use https://getsimpleform.com/ and just send me an email, then I manually add the comment. Works Pretty Good!

I would happily implement web-mentions or whatever (I added rss feed when someone requested it) but I don't know exactly how they're different from comments. I have comments that link back to the comment-authors website, is that a webmention?

https://simonsarris.com/ Updated to have Simeville, a css village. Gonna remake it in Canvas though.

I hope you keep the pure-CSS version around somewhere, because that is technically amazing. I thought I'd accidentally disabled umatrix when I first saw it.
