I helped someone learn the joys of RSS feeds today.

I am so thankful the tool exists that helps me curate my own internet experience… I can stay up to date in ways I couldn’t before, and I’m seeing updates to things that I would have lost without it.

I am following so many lovely artist bloggers, and when folks make new posts I don’t have to worry about missing the notification they have a new one that they shared on some social media walled garden whose algorithm hides it from me because it has an external link.

My reader isn’t fancy (It’s called ReadKit and it’s for Apple) but it keeps me informed.

Now to encourage people to stop using platforms to share their stuff and start using their own websites. I shouldn’t need to join some company’s silo container to see your latest news.

Here’s my blog. Type in the web address into your reader. It’ll set you up.

Reclaiming the web: Mastodon and the decentralised social movement - by Matt Vestengen-Cox

Internet friends (and future friends!): I'm putting together a talk about joyful weirdness on the web and was looking for examples of what other people have fallen in love with:

Could I ask you to show me examples of weird, delightful, unexpected websites and webapps you've made or seen?

Hi friends,

The http://alt-text.org alt text library project needs a new leader, I have brain cancer.

I built a working, scalable, proof of concept library of shared alt text with fuzzy matching.

I'd like to connect with the #accessibility dev community. I want to hand the project off to a team or a leader if anyone is willing to take it over.

Github: https://github.com/alt-text-org
WIP MVP: a site designed for writing alt text with a private library: https://my.alt-text.org

Boosts appreciated
