I watched a great video by Lauren Kim titled “I deleted all my social media and made a website” (runtime 26:55).

She broke it into a few chapters. In “Why a website,” I liked the focus on a website as a long-term project. She also emphasized creating things for ourselves/the sake of creativity, not so much for the social validation.

Then there was the website tour itself. It was great to see how excited she was and how much thought she’d put into the whole process. I’m glad to see younger generations making these connections and working on personal websites.

The indieweb kids are alright.

@gregorlove.com she's adorable. I love that she got emotional about how constraining the social media sites are as a canvas for creativity. Inspiring.
