    #s:design #s:indieweb #s:online #s:webmastery | the interwebbed dwelling of a multifaceted internet creative

    Really cool (and aesthetically pleasing!) personal site for "digital miscellany". Contains lots of links to resources for design, assets, accessibility, tools, and other webdev-related things. Also has a theme switcher and a blog.

  • The magical thinking of guys who love logic
    #s:online #s:politics #t:article/essay | Opinions from Youtube men are not facts. Getting mad about philosophers you haven’t read isn’t reason. Insulting your girlfriend because she questions your sudden political shift isn’t logic. For a group of people who claim to hate the supposed redefinition of words when it comes to gender and race; for a group of people who are very mad about the postmodern tendency to say nothing means anything (or at least this is an aspect of postmodernism they seem to have gleaned from their favorite subreddits), the new young reactionaries are remarkably devil-may-care about certain words when they seem to lend credibility and strength to their opinions. By repeating the magic words, they avoid having to deal with a gruesome fact, one that really doesn’t care about their feelings: that they are just a person on a computer with an opinion, talking to other people on computers with opinions.

  • Brutalist Web Design
    #s:design #s:online #s:webmastery #t:article/essay | Brutalist Web Design is honest about what a website is and what it isn't. A website is not a magazine, though it might have magazine-like articles. A website is not an application, although you might use it to purchase products or interact with other people. A website is not a database, although it might be driven by one.

  • Cohost's Financials - A Retrospective
    #s:cohost #s:online #t:article/essay | Frankly, I think the Cohost team has given up. But I think they gave up way before this. Social media isn't profitable. But they've honestly never seemed to make much of an effort to make Cohost profitable. Tipping frequently got ignored to make things like the alternate email-style feed view, or tumblr-style asks, or more "fun" features. They have a merch store but the link just exists in the staff account bio page, it's not in the footer or really ever advertised anywhere except by other users. They have no donation link, you just have to be told by someone else that you can buy bonus subscriptions. And they have a userbase that wants to give them money. I frequently see posts from people asking how they can donate, or wishing that they had a merch store (when they do). And even the simplest things like "making the merch store easier to see" haven't been done. And yet in the last financial update...they've given up. They know they don't have a second rich friend to keep funding them, and they know they never had a path to really make themselves sustainable.
