I've been messing with and collecting stuff like this for many years. Some links:
- On building kind, sustainable software: https://untested.sonnet.io/notes/kind-software/
- Example projects (toys instead of blogs): https://untested.sonnet.io/notes/projects-and-apps-i-built-f...
- Wishlist: https://untested.sonnet.io/notes/things-to-support-my-own-we...
- List of places to find indie content (something I used for my weekly newsletter): https://untested.sonnet.io/notes/places-to-find-indie-web-co...
Nowadays my current approach is:
1) meeting folks via Say Hi (unoffice hours)
2) keeping a separate RSS feed in NetNewsWire called People - this feed contains only the people I've met online or in person
EDIT: I almost forgot, but my partner wrote a cool intro to Indieweb for less techie folks: https://newpublic.substack.com/p/the-handmade-internet-is-ma...
It includes interviews with some of the people you might know from here :)
Nice! You might add Prezi as inspiration for zooming and panning across the live dynamic environments, islands on your everything canvas in: https://untested.sonnet.io/notes/an-everything-canvas/
Ha, it's been ages since I heard about Prezi, thanks!
Related to Prezi, but not my earlier comment: I'm actually messing with a little toy project: a Playdate (http://play.date) remote to control presentations/media/Claude Code
It would be (useless, but) fun to be able to control the animation transitions (like those in Prezi) using the crank!
