[snarfed] saw this the other day, personal web site event in SF Bay Area this Sat, I'll add to http://events.indieweb.org. doesn't mention indieweb but could still be welcoming. I have a conflict, otherwise I'd go! https://luma.com/1upb4xld

#
ulhar4409 > We'll provide the tool and the credits
#
ulhar4409 it's a bit subtle but the event does imply they're using AI for this. fair reader, take that as you will

#
aaronpk looks like a stealth startup
#
ulhar4409 come to think of it they don't elaborate on "the tool" either so maybe
#
aaronpk the event host has a nice personal website tho https://zarazhang.com/about/
#
ulhar4409 oh! so literally a stealth startup
#
gRegor lol, wasn't expecting that bio to say "is working on building a new AI product at a stealth startup"
#
ulhar4409 me neither
#
aaronpk i'm super curious about what an AI startup targeted at making personal websites is though!
#
ulhar4409 i would enjoy seeing like
#
ulhar4409 a very non-AI startup (do those exist anymore?)
#
ulhar4409 filling the same niche
#
ulhar4409 maybe a "startup" is the wrong format if you just want to help people learn though. so nvm. no startups
#
IWDiscord <u​lhar4409>
#
ulhar4409 (might discuss more in iw-random idk)
#
gRegor what is Build a Website in an Hour?
#
Loqi Build a Website in an Hour is an event where participants are challenged to build (or work on an existing) website https://indieweb.org/Build_a_Website_in_an_Hour
#
gRegor there ya go
#
ulhar4409 nice
#
gRegor though hasn't been one in a while
#
[tantek] [snarfed] should we organize an IndieWeb SF meetup sometime soon after that event so we have something to pitch to the folks there? Otherwise hard to justify drive to San Mateo for a single tool meetup 🤷‍♂️
