I'm a professional front-end dev, but I haven't made a fun personal site as an adult. Ever. The indie web community has me inspired to get back into what I originally loved so much about the web, and what got me into eventually doing what I do for a living. I forgot how the web can be simple, personal and fun.
I have a lot of React and Vue experience, but after a bit of research Svelte looks like a good option for what I want. I was able to get Sveltkit to generate a simple static page without extra JS. I got a lighttpd server up, everything is working, and now I'm ready to let the creativity flow.
Also I really want to set up a Gemini caspsule soon too! 😄
