This time instead of sending a newsletter about the Indie Web, I thought I'd share some of the sources I rely on to put it together. Happy Holidays! <img src="https://www.potato.horse/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Fhyylafu4fjks%2F581AQCa0uK3RkT6ZKIPWJb%2F40ee9af874c8a067f997e26c0457317b%2FF84A2B9E-F8BE-435F-81F0-33EA5D313A31.png&w=3840&q=75" alt=""> Disclaimer and probably the worst possible start of a post like this: **This list is neither complete nor 100% focussed on the Indie Web.** Some of the people I follow often post stuff *unrelated* to Indie Web. But, when they *do* post Indie Web related content, it's usually something so good I want to let you know about it. ## How I use these resources - find inspiration for new posts and project ideas - write the weekly newsletter (like [[48|this one]]) - escape the [[Cable TV Web]] - find more interesting people to follow ## Websites - [marginalia.nu](https://marginalia.nu), especially the [Website Explorer](https://explore.marginalia.nu/) - [B3TA : WE LOVE THE WEB](https://b3ta.com) - [The Yesterweb - Reclaiming the Internet](https://yesterweb.org/) - [webcurios](https://webcurios.co.uk) - [ooh.directory](https://ooh.directory) - [futureofcoding.org](https://futureofcoding.org) - [Diagram Website – An internet map](https://diagram.website) - [WMW: Well Made Web :: index](http://wmw.thran.uk) - [Industrial Nation](https://industrialnation.co.uk) - [R74n](https://r74n.com/ants/) - [occasionally, humdrum](https://kinopio.club/-occasionally-humdrum-vol-003-zIo9Fu0uf2Y9L-idOGwB1) ## People and blogs ### Social media - [XH](https://twitter.com/xhfloz) and their [newsletter](https://woolgather.sh) - [Good Enough](https://twitter.com/goodenoughllc) - [Matt Webb](https://mastodon.social/@genmon) and [his blog](https://interconnected.org/home/) - [Alicia Guo](https://twitter.com/upcycledwords) - [Greg Sadetsky](https://twitter.com/technology_greg) - [Max Bittker](https://twitter.com/maxbittker) - [Steve Ruiz](https://twitter.com/steveruizok) - [Kev Quirk](https://kevquirk.com) ### Blogs/RSS - [Max Böck](https://mxb.dev) - [Zach Leatherman—zachleat.com](https://www.zachleat.com) - [Blog @ tonsky.me](https://tonsky.me) - [Ethan Marcotte](https://ethanmarcotte.com/wrote/let-a-website-be-a-worry-stone/) - [Jim Nielsen’s Blog](https://blog.jim-nielsen.com) - [Addy Osmani](https://addyosmani.com/blog/) - [An understanding of time in the OS of the future](https://alexanderobenauer.com/weekly/20231021/) - [Google Sheets on iPad?
