Thanks! Yeah, I figured why not release step by step? It's sort of in line with the build in public mentality. As long as each step is something you feel good about shipping, go for it!

I started building mine recently and I shared some inspiration somewhere in there. There's not much there yet but I'm having fun! nickwhite.dev

I haven't been using python much lately but I remember venv being the way and being happy with it being added to python 3 so I didn't have to manage it with a dependency.

I feel that. Be nice to yourself and give yourself space. You'll find the grove again even if it doesn't come back immediately.
I'm finding mine a few minutes at a time these days. The focus blocks are getting longer and I'm getting happier, so that's a good sign.

Been trying out Spark for the last few months and it's so much better than having to change accounts every time I want to check another email's inbox on Gmail. It was out of control and now I have no problem staying at inbox zero.

Will do!
My goal for now is to feel the pain of managing a server directly. For some reason, I learn best when I learn the hard way.

I wanted to learn more about hosting directly with as few dependencies as possible so I skipped @coolify.io this time but the people and intentions behind it are too good to ignore.

Awesome!
@coolify.io is one thing I forgot to mention in my list of recent interests so thanks for reminding me. I have been enjoying the coolify community but haven't played around with it much yet.
I'm going to have to do some experimenting!

I'm a long-time lurker on the internet and I want to get better at participating.
I plan on adding to my website, building more, contributing to OSS, sharing learnings and questions I have, and having fun!
I ask you to help by mentioning me, tagging me, asking me to review your code, whatever!

Navigating hosting has been an interesting adventure.
I've landed on a tiny Hetzner VPS for my personal sites. Dreaming of self-hosting in the future.
For client projects, I'm currently using Netlify and it seems good.
Open to ideas and thoughts on hosting providers.

The framework that has caught my eye is @svelte.dev. I haven't played around with it too much but it seems solid, has an appealing developer experience, and the community seems great!

I've been getting into ideas like the small web and digital gardening.
I thought Ben Hoyt's and Parimal Satyal's essays on the small web were thoughtful and inspiring.
