I’ve been designing web experiences for 20+ years. While I use and enjoy dedicated design software, I’m pretty sure I design “in the browser” more than most.
Here are just a few reasons why… https://cloudfour.com/thinks/why-i-like-designing-in-the-browser/
today is officially *THREE* weeks until the submission deadline for Good Internet magazine!
Good Internet launches in May 2025. it's a volunteer-run, not-for-profit print and digital quarterly magazine for personal website owners and those interested in using the internet as a means of self-expression, art, and recreation.
🔍 we're looking for 1,500-4,000 word articles about anything related to that!
you could write about:
* #internet history
* personal #websites
* #accessibility on the #indieweb
* finding inspiration for a #blog
* #webdesign trends
* running from the #enshittification of the #web
* lessons or post-mortems from #webdev projects
* news or overviews of #opensource projects
if it relates to hobbies on "this side of the web," whether you call it the #smallweb or indieweb, we probably want to run it!
you can have your article as low-media (meaning only text and images) or interactive, where you code an entire webpage to help tell your story.
if you're interested in learning more, you can sign up for our email list for when we launch or you can check the submission guidelines @ https://goodinternetmagazine.com!
(please boost if you can! <3)
Focusing on #empowerment, #privacy, and #sustainability we offer top-notch web design, development, and hosting services.
Services available in 🇬🇧 English and 🇫🇷 French, from 🇪🇺 EU

Starting the process of moving away from #meta owned platforms is going to be hard, and IDK how to get other folks on here, but I love this space more than Bluesky or anything else really.
I like using #Signal for comms and stories, so I guess that part is figured out.

this will likely be a recurring reminder as the weeks go by, but i'm so excited about this project. i have to share! (this is the first time i've been nervous to announce something on this side of the web!)
i'm combining my 10 years of journalism experience with my love for the #indieweb by launching GOOD INTERNET, a regular periodical magazine in both print and digital formats. and this is a non-profit, completely independent endeavor!
https://goodinternetmagazine.com/
ultimately, Good Internet will cover a lot of different aspects of the small web: unplugging from the corporate web, fighting #enshittification, migrating from data-harvesting corpo social media, creating your own personal website, using code and website-building as an art form, federation, and creating websites for fun. it will be approachable for beginners and enjoyable for seasoned indie web travelers!
the #smallweb can be hard to keep up with if you aren't "plugged in," especially if you want to find other hobby website owners, folks coding for fun, weird web projects, or artists taking back their digital ownership. it's overdue that this side of the web has an analog publication!
having a central publication about the decentralized parts of the personal web makes me even more excited to share this hobby with those who might not even know about it--all within beautiful, high-res, high-quality pages.
the idea here is to have a physical celebration of this hobby in addition to being informative, helpful, and accessible.
consider signing up for email notifications when we launch the first issue in may 2025:
https://goodinternetmagazine.com
(if you're interested in #writing an article or op-ed about this side of the web/personal websites, coding an interactive article, or want to know what that even means, send an email to hello@goodinternetmagazine.com! taking pitches for may 2025!)

What #SSG to people recommend for noobs? I used to do web design like 15 years ago and have used Wordpress but I haven't done anything in between! I'd like to get back into using Markdown, HTML, CSS, etc although I am very rusty and sadly forgot most of the things I learned. #webdesign #markdown #html #internet

This is a small change, but greatly improves Mastodon's interface, making it a lot less cluttered and confusing.

Design question:
With or without border at the bottom? Or maybe a less brighter border?

It's kind of a weird thing from my perspective...
There are many people focused on building their social network and earning that legendary high 6-figure income.
You'll be shamed or insulted for suggesting that someone needs to enjoy the work to sustain a career in this field.
I wonder how many people there are who do this because they enjoy it... Or even if there are any any more.
For the record, I'm not lookin' to "grow my brand" and I'm really not employable, but there's nothing I enjoy more than solving a complex **real world** programming problem.

I really enjoyed the visual examples in this talk by @simonswiss!
I have a similar experience with Tailwind CSS making it so much easier to collaborate closely with designers and developers - especially during the crucial prototyping stage. In small teams, this saves a lot of time compared to first designing, iterating and *then* implementing.

Hello, I'm Martin. I'm a self-employed computer technician in #Oxfordshire in the UK. My customers are mostly home users, but I support some small businesses too.
I have a #ComputerScience background and am passionate about #WebDesign and #CyberSecurity. I also enjoy graphic design and desktop publishing, and dabble in electronic #MusicProduction.
Beyond the computer, I'm passionate about #sustainability and #PublicTransport, and good at identifying British birds. I'm peripherally interested in gardening and nuclear power, only one of which I have hands-on experience with.
My partner and I recently welcomed two pet #rats into our home. We're new to this, so any advice is welcome as we hope to learn a lot and ensure they have a good quality of life.

I've said this before, and I'll gladly reiterate my hot take:
Your website should not have a light/dark mode toggle.
Please just make it follow the system preference instead. If there is a reason your site is so special that someone would want to use a different color scheme for it than everything else on their system, you should still make it possible to have the site follow the system color scheme. Not even Reddit does this right 😄
