[schmarty]1 Good post about games publishing, owning your domain, and site deaths. https://blog.zarfhome.com/2025/05/counting-the-wreckage

#
[aciccarello] Welcome! I've added it to my static site. I can point you to some resources in the #indieweb-dev channel.
#

#
[Scout] i have all but dropped out of the indieweb context. i suppose i just find it hard to maintain something that exists purely virtually for me (meaning no local meetups), and i am never free on weds evenings for the online homebrew website club. do others struggle with this issue? how do you keep your hands in and involved in a online community? (i do realise the oxymoronic nature of asking this in the virtual channel of said community. but where
#
[Scout] else would i turn lol)
#
[Scout] there's of course the wider issue of never finding the time and headspace to work on my site at all. the two go hand-in-hand, an unfortunate cycle. i would like to have more indieweb in my life though.

#
[jeremycherfas] There is a galactic bonus HWC tomorrow, Saturday, which might be of interest. Iā€™m also seldom fee on a Wednesday, and live in a city with no known IndieWeb people. But I do find time to be here in the chat, a bit.
#
perryflynn Same. I hope I can join the camp in Berlin.

#
[Murray] [Scout] I'm in a similar boat and can rarely make any of the online meetups. I keep a vague tab on the chat here (it helps that I work from home, so I can dip in and out on a personal device throughout the day), and follow the "#indieweb" hashtag on Mastodon, which works as a decent feed
#
[Murray] as for finding the time to work on my own site, I use a mixture of setting aside dedicated time once every few months (I have monthly "themes", so every now and then I'll make something I want to fix/improve/create a theme for a month) and just waiting for inspiration to strike. Because I work in web dev, I often find that a work project will inspire me to do something (often totally unrelated) in an evening or weekend, and have learned to
#
[Murray] maximise that inspiration when it does strike šŸ˜„
#
[Murray] definitely not easy though
#
[Murray] oh, and a really good mental shift that this community helped foster was: pick the stuff that makes _my life better_ over the stuff that has online kudos or career advantages. I still do some of the latter, but by focusing on the things I need my site to do, that solve actual problems, I've found that makes it easier to find the time

capjamesg We have a weekend online meetup coming up tomorrow! https://events.indieweb.org/2025/05/galactic-bonus-homebrew-website-club-FXSfHTDP2Apy

capjamesg [edit] We have a weekend online meetup coming up tomorrow! https://events.indieweb.org/2025/05/galactic-bonus-homebrew-website-club-FXSfHTDP2Apy
#
capjamesg We ran bonus HWCs a bit more frequently last year and the year before, so I'm excited to bring one back this year!
#
capjamesg [Murray]++ re: building things that you are interested in building.
#
Loqi [Murray] has 5 karma in this channel over the last year (10 in all channels)
#
capjamesg [Scout] If you know one or two people in person who like making websites, you could always start a HWC where you are if that appeals to you.
#
capjamesg The Edinburgh HWC is usually 5-6 people. We all meet up in a coffee shop and chat about websites for an hour.

#
[artlung] I think some random homebrew online co-working gatherings would work. They happen occasionally, but usually not with formal etherpads and events set up on events..
#
[artlung] If folks wish for a meeting time, surely there's a way to make that happen.
