#
jgmac1106 if you are technical Ihazawebsite is great and free
#
jgmac1106 tumblr is also a great place to try and get started
#
jgmac1106 If you have $5 a month to spare micro.blog is the most turn key way to get started with a social stream and you can build webpages and stuff
#
jjuran You can run a website with your own domain on nearlyfreespeech.net for less than $5/month
#
jgmac1106 https://gmac1106.glitch.me for a simple profile website, but it has blog entry instructions at https://buildyourfirstwebsitelessonplans.glitch.me

JOX http://redesign.codes
#
JOX When we program, especially in C-like languages, we are editing and writing code inside a vertical column, which is a poor use of space.
[tantek] joined the channel
#
[tantek] Huh? That should be in dev if anything, and what’s it have to do with IndieWeb?
#
[tantek] jjuran about once a year I hear or see a pitch for nearlyfreespeech. Do you know anyone who is actually using it though?
[snarfed] joined the channel
#
[snarfed] disregard, probably just spam (ahem self promotion) across many channels
#
[tantek] Thanks snarfed, will delete from Slack then
#
[tantek] jjuran one of the folks at IWC Austin pitched it when we were discussing web hosts to switch to
#
[tantek] IWC Austin 2019 that is
#
[tantek] I asked him if he used it. He said no. I asked him if he knew anyone personally who was using it. I said no.
#
[tantek] So I pushed back with so why I should believe it works / is credible enough to use for my identity?
#
JOX Well, it applies to CSS
#
JOX It would be better if we could tabularize our CSS
#
[tantek] Still off topic spam here JOX. L
#
[tantek] JOX how did you find this channel?
#
JOX Sorry, I forgot that all of you are going to change the Internet
#
JOX Maybe through blogs. We will make a search engine for blogs.
#
JOX That won't be a fad or anything, Tantek.
#
[tantek] We could use one of those again! Since google shut theirs down for no reason
#
[tantek] Still, question stands, how did you find this channel JOX?
#
JOX I will call it TechnoElite
wolftune joined the channel
#
[tantek] What’s your personal website JOX?
#
JOX I can't stay anonymous?
#
[tantek] You can, then there’s little point to being in this channel. See https://IndieWeb.org/discuss
#
JOX Oh, there's a separate dev channel
#
JOX I get it. This about GeoCities type of thing.
