Some of the people I've been telling about my projects have asked me if they could follow me somewhere. I don't really find sculpting long engaging texts or polishing my projects for the public very interesting; I like thinking about and testing things. I figured that maybe I could simply post the process somewhere without any polishing, and maybe someone would find that interesting. At the very least it would be easier to show what I've been doing, rather than explain it in conversation.
So I started thinking about which social media to post to. All of them had various limitations on the form factors and amount of images I could post, and most of them are pretty focused on good-looking polished work. Plus I felt that posting sketches about app ideas I have or things I've made without any context to the public would be pretty weird on any social media. And finally, almost all of them require the viewer to have an account and then want to force-feed them stuff from other people.
So I decided to be retro and make a website. This is it. The current plan is to post about what I have been working on and thinking about once a week, with probably pretty minimal context and little to no curation or polish. It's a weird format, but it's something that I find doable and I don't need to do work that I'm not interested in. Plus someone might actually like just seeing the thought processes and very rough initial sketches turn into something that looks a bit more fleshed out.
The site is also a whole project in itself, so it might change drastically between your visits, it might be broken, it might be weird. I'm constantly testing stuff in my projects, and this is one of them, so do prepare for that. Any weird or interesting feature ideas to the site are also welcome. My email is at the bottom. I hope it works. Haven't tried it yet.
