I have wanted to get a minimal web site going for a while - something that doesn't require JavaScript and consists of static files only. As a frontend dev, I still want the flexibility of React and want to bring in markdown content.   Originally Svelte looked good, but I ran into problem after problem and the implementation was clunky, but I just discovered Astro, which looks like the perfect solution!   Do many of you host a personal web site? Post a link! If you don't, why not?

What an odd day. My old custom keyboard had been having issues and was getting worse. I've had the parts to rebuild it fresh with a new and better PCB and switches, but hadn't taken the time.  But then this morning my monitor started going haywire too--ghosting, vertical lines, and flickering. The keyboard, meanwhile, kept getting worse and keys were sticking.  Out of desperation I completd the keyboard build so I could at least type properly again (it's fantastic), and now my monitor has started working well again too. You know why?  That malfunctioning keyboard was plugged into a KVM switch, which was routing my video signals. So to my surprise, fixed keyboard = fixed monitor. 😁

I'm a professional front-end dev, but I haven't made a fun personal site as an adult. Ever. The indie web community has me inspired to get back into what I originally loved so much about the web, and what got me into eventually doing what I do for a living. I forgot how the web can be simple, personal and fun.  I have a lot of React and Vue experience, but after a bit of research Svelte looks like a good option for what I want. I was able to get Sveltkit to generate a simple static page without extra JS. I got a lighttpd server up, everything is working, and now I'm ready to let the creativity flow.  Also I really want to set up a Gemini caspsule soon too! 😄

🌊 Hi Station! This is such cool idea.  I just recently learned about Gemini, and have gone down a rabbit hole of creative community on the Internet - where things are quieter without the social media noise. You can actually hear people, and be heard. It is very inspiring.  Kudos to all you pioneers and refugees out in Geminispace.
