Hi and welcome to this post
I was just wondering if anyone else (besides me) is currently interested in the indie web and also in extension 88x31 Buttons.
I have a small (and very much in-progress) website that I mostly coded myself. I started sometimes 2 years ago, so in 2024. And through that time it has gone through so many iterations. My site only consists of HTML and CSS and some minimal JavaScript. So I was just wondering if anyone also has an interest in the indie web and more importantly also has some buttons?
The idea or goal with this post was to just find some more people to add as neighbors because I find it somewhat scary to just ask people out of the blue or email them.
I also made my own if anyone wants to link it to their site please let me know.
This is my button:
https://postimg.cc/xqYQ8dJr<a href="https://luna-uwu.nekoweb.org"><img src="https://luna-uwu.nekoweb.org/button-luna.png" alt="Luna's Button"/></a>I guess the link to the site is this:
https://luna-uwu.nekoweb.org/ (I think i posted it before)Some "definitions"
What is the Indie Web?
It is some sort of a movement to bring back personal blogs and personal websites there are a few hosting alternatives similar to geocities in the 2000s. One is called neocities and the one I'm currently using is Nekoweb because indeed the web should be for cats!
What are these 88x31 Buttons?
so these buttons usually link to other's people site and they are the size of 88x31px it's pretty small but since you can do it in the GIF format, you can even animate them, and they usually look pretty great.
There are some examples on my site :) on the bottom :)I guess that's about it. I hope you have a nice time of day wherever you are.

I'm a web developer and find the playwright MCP to be genuinely useful. My LLM is able to navigate my site, measure the size of elements, see console errors, network requests, etc. This is the only MCP I've ever installed and haven't yet had any cause to use others. But I'm interested in hearing what other professionals are using.
