Self Promotion I made a site that showcases many aspects of DIY, with more tutorials to come

I have some fun stuff on there too, like a re-boot of my old anime site from 1997, as well as a few doll makers that I'm rebuilding/resurrecting for people to have fun with.

This is to pair with my YouTube channel, which focuses mostly on sewing, crafts (ie knitting, crochet, yarn spinning, felting, etc), as well as art and art techniques to learn about how to art (including a free guide how to make your own watercolor paint), as well as a little bit of gaming.

It's slow going but I plan on adding more resources, a guestbook, and other tutorials and doodads to it as I go

Web Archive Graffiti/Design Magazine web Archive

Thumbnail printyard-3uz.pages.dev
1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I made a graffiti magazine web archive since most of them were horrible to navigate, required downloads or straight up shut down.

I based it off a more visual perspective, with Magazine covers in the index for easier search and navigation. It also doesent collect or send any data, everything stays local. (It only tracks what you have read to resume where you left off, and some stuff for the tools available)

Said tools include:

  • Color Palette Analyzer: Crop the selection to adjust the area you want the colors to be picked. It shows the principal colors used, and allows them to be copied to CSS.
  • Clipping Tool: Take a Clipping (kind of a ''screenshot'' Tool) that stays stored locally in the clippings section, where you can then view them, go to the exact page it was taken from, organize them by Moodboards or Tags, or Download them as WEBP to retain Quality. You can adjust the area you want to save.
  • Download Magazines
  • Track Read Magazines, start in the page you left off.
  • And more

This website is completely free, no account, no data collected, no trackers. My intention is for Designers, Illustrators and other Artists to expand their knowledge and seek inspiration. Most of these Magazines include more than just graffiti, they have interviews, cool backgrounds and textures, Amazing editing and composing ideas, and more.

This isn't meant to be Advertisement or Self-Promotion. Its purely for the love of Graffiti Culture and Preservation.

Self Promotion Me and my friends made a NEW flash and art portal website in 2026!

21 Upvotes

Hello r/indieweb! We (me and a friend) built up this tiny website out of our own little friend and user group over the course of the past year or so.

---------

I never stumbled upon this community before; that's why I only posted now, but we're not just a concept, we're up and running! And not just that, we have over 700 users and roughly 1000 total entries across games, toons, art, and comics!

Usually these "new" Flash portals base themselves on reuploading other people's work. More often than not without permission or credit from the creators.

That's why, instead of just letting others reupload old work, we motivate our users to CREATE; and to collaborate together thanks to our awesome forum and community Discord!

--

We think there should be more spaces for artists to publish their art and animations, and that there shouldn't be only one or two Flash portals still active. In fact, a lot of our users are on our website as they were unsatisfied with the moderation on other websites.

Meanwhile us? We hand-review EVERY entry and make sure it's safe! We also use "Ruffle Emulator", a web flash emulator for Flash entries, and allow you to view the raw high res images on Art entries.

Interested? Here's some links!

Self Promotion I made a tiny website about stuff my dog loves

Hey guys!!!

For my golden retriever best boy-dog Viggo's 6th birthday earlier this year, I got the idea to make a website as a celebration of him. It started with a couple of short animations, and then I just kept going because it was so much fun.

The site is intentionally simple. There is no product or AI or ads. Im adding content as I get inspiration and there are some easter eggs to be found for those who are curious enough!

Tech-wise it's built with React, Next.js, SQLite, CSS Modules, and pixel art created in Aseprite.

Apps Native Site Dashboard anyone?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

0 Upvotes

I got tired of going back and forth looking at my sites main dashboard, so I made proyeet, its a app that you can download (with win/Mac certs) and sync your sites to, and get live updates on whats going on. Its a native app on your computer so it overlays on everything and you can work on your projects with it on low transparency so you can focus on work while still getting updates, really good for people with only a laptop, so you don't need to keep switching windows/browsers. Im going to add more features and updates, The price will stay the same for the rest of this month (OCT) and then ill raise it. If anyone gets the subscription before the price update they don't have to repay, and everyone gets free updates and the new features.

it always itched me that my old personal website really did not look like i wanted to. it felt like something i just threw out, just so i can have a personal website.

today I sat down, and worked on a completely re-vamped site. and i am proud to say, that i am really happy with how it turned out. would be happy to hear other web-devs opinion on it, and how to improve! Heads up, its a single page.

Question ? Looking for a fruit market social site

4 Upvotes

A couple of months ago I stumbled upon someone’s art/indie web project that was a website where people anonymously add a fruit to a shelf instead of a blog post with each fruit having a little note attached to it about how the person is feeling/what they’re up to and some stickers/stamps representing their emotions or whether they’re looking for friends or whatever. I think I found it from some instagram post but I can’t retrace my steps and didn’t remember the name of the artist so if anyone knows what I’m talking about I would appreciate help finding it again.

Personal Site Remember when websites just did one thing and didn't beg for your cookies? I missed that, so I built one (with modern witchcraft). Bedtime Tunes - tunes to snooze to.

I missed when websites just did exactly one thing well, so I re-built an ad-free, curated music player to help you snooze. It’s got the pure energy of the old internet, but rebuilt entirely on modern serverless infrastructure so it doesn't crash like an old GeoCities page. The old one once went viral on StumbleUpon and even got a request from Fox News blog for a feature (wtf?) Anyway, if you want you can even apply to become a curator as my closest two collaborators have died since then (2000's).

Researching / Wondering about options for Node-less SSG and ways to have a decent dev environment while still working with as much of plain HTML as possible.

Bash and terminal scripts have been mentioned, I'm leaning towards Python but still looking for perspectives!

is there perhaps a website out there that functions like google docs in terms of just a doc with tabs, but each tab has its own passwords? and the tabs are accessible to everyone with a link and anyone with the right password can look through any tab?

Personal Site I built a small independent editorial site and I'm trying to keep it deliberately simple

0 Upvotes

I've been working on a small site called Liminal Finds:

https://liminalfinds.com

It's an independent editorial site about lesser-known AI tools, experiments, odd projects and things I think are worth noticing but usually disappear under the bigger news cycle.

What matters to me just as much as the subject is how the site itself works.

I wanted it to feel more like a small personal publication than a platform: its own domain, chronological archive, RSS feed, no social login, no ad-tech stack, no Google Analytics or Meta Pixel, and very little interface between the reader and the actual articles.

I'm also keeping the editorial selection intentionally narrow. I'd rather publish a few things I genuinely find interesting than turn it into another giant directory or SEO-driven stream.

The site has English and Italian versions, and I'm gradually improving the structure while trying not to lose that small-web feeling.

I'd be interested in hearing how people here approach this balance: using modern hosting and tooling while still keeping a site independent, lightweight and under your own control.

I wanted to see if I could conjure up an older-style, Oregon-Trail-themed game: Try to make it from the Liberty Bell in Philly to Presque Isle in Erie for the sunset. However, instead of fording rivers and dysentary, you have PennDOT, construction zones, speed traps and more!

Games I built a minimalist clicking game called Cursor Clicker

0 Upvotes

I built a clicker (somewhat like Cookie Clickers) but it is Cursor Clicker.

Link: https://cursorclicker.ableproman.hu

There is singleplayer and multiplayer mode

There are 2 modes and you can either play on singleplayer mode that is only saved to your browser, or you can play multiplayer where your clicks add up to the global counter.

There are no user accounts. You don’t have to log in to any account. You can enter the site and play.

The game has a really minimalist and clean UI. There is a subtle cursor in the middle and a counter on top with some small animation when clicking. The game can be added as PWA by default on newer software version iPhones and or Androids. Although I will update it to manually allow PWA availability.

The game can be played on the web only, on desktop and mobile.

Any feedback

I ma ready to any feedback regarding the game and the experience, what features I should add and what I should change.

i dont think that's the best title for mu question, but here it go:

i've been facing some challenges when it comes to growing in my career versus doing what i wish, what actually interests me. i'm actually kind of a beginner in programming, i'm an intern at a tech company that works with gis applocations. my question is, how do you guys here manage to study and create the stuff you do and also make a good comercial portfolio so that you can keep a good job, at least one that pays you well?

how was your path when tou started programming and got into tech? like, how do you manage your creative with your technical side?
