This is my (for now) last #btconf post, promise — or at least that’s the plan.

I just want to say a few more words about @marcthiele.

As a visitor of the #BeyondTellerrand, it becomes pretty obvious very quickly: you don’t do something like this to make money. Marc’s on a mission. With a surprising level of selflessness, he brings people together and gets them talking.

"web joy" — the joy you experience when visiting a website with joyful content and/or have a joyful experience (as a user) on a website, or the joy of creating such a website.

During the beyond tellerand conference this past week, someone mentioned “responsive web design” and having just completed IndieWebCamp Düsseldorf, the thought popped in my head that joyful web design should be a named thing, since many of us spent the weekend at IndieWebCamp doing just that.

I mentioned it to @jamesg.blog at a break between talks, we discussed it a bit and agreed that joy is a good motivator, and as creatives we both like creating things that are joyful to experience, and ideally joyful to create.

James blogged it before I got around to it: https://jamesg.blog/2026/05/01/joyful-web-design

That and a zoom chat today was inspiration to name that specific joyful experience “web joy”.

It’s a nod to “moon joy”, a mere weeks old phrase many have heard and been inspired by, coined by Mission Control science officer Angela Garcia, and transmitted (spoken) by CAPCOM on shift, Jacki Mahaffey, in reply to the Artemis II astronauts on mission (as noted in a NASA AMA: https://www.reddit.com/r/nasa/comments/1stjt7m/comment/ohw9g9l/). You can hear the “Copy, moon joy.” expression in context at the start of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHUvedAssyE

Much thanks to James for his encouragement to blog “web joy”.

My small contribution to this year’s @btconf. During each talk, I collect photos and quotes, and the presentation is shown afterward. The design is driven by random values. In the background, there’s a pool of textures, graphics, svg masks, and fonts, with their styling controlled simply via php rand(). As simple as it is effective.

Another beyond tellerrand is in the books. I had a great time – as always. Thanks for having me, Marc! Speakers above: André Michelle, Kimya Gandhi, Bramus Van Damme, James White and Lauren Celenza. It is hard to describe the feeling I have whenever I am on my way home. I guess hopeful comes to mind (not that I feel hopeless generally, but there is definitely a lot of positive energy in the room at btconf). I definitely feel inspired and ready to get back to work, especially on my own projects like picu or this photo blog. Anyway – the full gallery with many more images will be available later this week. Subscribe via RSS and you know exactly when! 😊

Beyond Tellerrand Conference, Düsseldorf 2026

Meine Lieblingskonferenz begeht dieses Jahr ihr 15järiges Bestehen, und ich bin gerade sehr geflasht weil ich seit der ersten Iteration im November 2011 jedes Jahr teilgenommen habe. Fünfzehn Jahre?? Das ist fast die Hälfte meines "professionellen" Lebens und diese (Halb)Zeit von Studiumabschluss bis zur ersten btconf kommt mir sooo viel länger vor als von der ersten btconf bis heute … wow. Es gab rund um Corona mal Remote-Teilnahmen und ich habe nicht jede Ausgabe in jeder Stadt (Düsseldorf, Berlin, München) mitgemacht - aber eine pro Jahr war ich dabei. […]
