CoastalOAK Sunday and it's early...fa sho
#
CoastalOAK 👋🏾 hey all, new here and glad to be in. I run oaklens.art, my photography site (rebuilt by hand off Squarespace so I actually own it now). I also just launched analogs.network, an open-source webring for independent creative sites. Old-web idea with a small 2026 twist: it's a living map that visibly grows as sites join. Figured this was the room that'd get it. Happy to be around.
#
doesnm welcome to indieweb, CoastalOAK
