I really like the site owner's "digital garden" metaphor. One of the problems with social media is they've constrained personal websites to a standard format, and this has molded creativity around what a personal website should look like.
For example, if people were somehow forced to make their own sites, they would find that the content they have to share is not quite blog, not quite portfolio, not quite photo gallery, etc.. sort of like geocities of the 90's. It's actually a hard problem.
In general, I really enjoy personal websites because they show different people's attempts at solving this problem, and the digital "garden concept" is a cool metaphor.
- bityard 3y agoI identify as a strong proponent of function over form, but I have to say, that is one pretty website. The web used to be littered with design-heavy sites, although few worked as well as this does. Either way, I wish there were more of them these days.
