Okay, okay, I'm going to try to use Mastodon more regularly!

I've been shying away from the world a bit, not really sharing my open source projects due to knocked confidence.

Buuut... I'm going to try to be more active and hopefully find likeminded people on here.

So here's a start:

If you are into sustainable web stuff and design, check out my Susty Icons!

I decided I could/should start sharing new icons as I add them to the Susty Icons set.

For absolutely no reason at all, I got up this morning and felt a desire to make a peace symbol. Then, obviously, I was thinking about flags.

Die Kampagne gegen Hetzner darf ruhig Hass und Hetzner heißen.

Hetzner arbeitet noch mit der #AfD zusammen. Sie hosten die Website. Aber sie sind nicht allein!

Laut DNS-Einträgen arbeiten auch 1&1 (Versatel), Brevo, GoTo Technologies und Hornet Security mit der AfD zusammen.

Es ist ALLES da.

My tips also covered in the guide would be:

Do the image stuff mentioned in the post (format, size, and specify dimensions)

Check you also have security covered (can't be seen from a report).

Embed Google Fonts (and choose an efficient one) or use system fonts.

Beyond the guide:

Preload otherwise render-blocking resources.

Improve SEO (this ensures we are found when needed - UX plays into sustainability).

Other aspects require more work to fix, but you're already not doing so badly.

@mboelen Thank you for the boost!

Incidentally - I know someone doing work on trying to get people to switch over to Linux this year. Are you on Green Action Tech?

If you’re making a website, think #sustainability!

Say no to Wix, SquareSpace, Elementor, Divi, WP Bakery, and so on. Ban JPEG from your vocabulary!

I know not everyone has the budget for a pro, so I made this guide.

Now you can DIY a website with sustainability best practices baked in. It won't be as efficient as the work of a full-timer, but still pretty good.
