Host your own website #16

I want more people to stake their space on the internet.

I stumbled on this cool site, "Tapistree", where you can collect all your stuff from all over the web:

https://tapistr.ee/strangestloop

this is great, but you don't even need a 3rd party service for this. We can make our own, it can be janky or pretty. We can copy code from each other. Could use a tool like this to display RSS feeds from all across the places you publish: https://utopia.rosano.ca/introducing-osfeedbox/

the nice thing about your own website is you completely own the data. You can host it on glitch.com for free, or you can easily migrate it to github pages. It's the only thing that you know will be long lasting

it just gets REAL COOL when we can use tools we make for each other, like Nutshell

https://ncase.me/nutshell/

we don't need companies to support new features for us. we do it for each other

The beautiful thing about "building your own website" is you can literally copy anything from anywhere. the entire internet is yours to remix. It's all HTML. YOU CAN LITERALLY DOWNLOAD ANY WEBSITE, PUT YOUR NAME ON IT, AND REPUBLISH IT WITH YOUR CONTENT AS YOUR PERSONAL WEBSITE< BOOM

I've decided to take a break from Twitter. So I will take you up on this. Now your GitHub repo is my only window to your Twitter lol. Need to make my own website to figure out what I want to do when I take a step back from tweeting.

@loydweldy I just wrote this, give it a try! https://dev.to/defenderofbasic/get-your-own-piece-of-internet-real-estate-in-5-minutes-1dpj

also, you should totally make your own version of this repo, we can start trend of github as social media! will be interesting to see how that works.

you can also 'watch' a repo to get notifications for updates anywhere, that will appear here for you: https://github.com/notifications
