Hello, new fedinauts, I’m Aral. I live on the Emerald Isle with my partner in crime Laura and our trusty sidekick Oskar the huskamute.
I’m working on building the Small Web¹ as an ethical alternative to the Big Web.
Please feel free to say hi. I don’t bite (unless you’re a proud surveillance capitalist/people farmer or a douchebag billionaire) :)
I have lots of thoughts on this.
Expound on your thoughts here, and I will provide input.
I'm old.
@aral Hi! Just read that Small Web essay. Great idea!
@zeolith Thanks :) A few more lines of code and hopefully it won’t be just an idea anymore either :)
@aral Yeah, just had a look at the repo, quite lively :)
It's js (or typescript?), so I'm not really familiar with it (especially when it comes to async programming)... Anyways, I wish you a lot of success. Might try it at some point, definitely keeping an eye on it =)
@aral hiyoooo, I love this project even though I’m still learning about it. Happy to be pals!
@aral@mastodon.ar.al
welcome (even though you're much older than me)
@dimkr Not really (I don’t think). It’s a good stopgap and a bridge :)
@aral highly recommend all new folk, small web helped me really understand and break down this journey :) thanks Aral and Laura!

@Frost Neat; greetings from Kilkenny :)
@aral Greetings from small-town (nw Arkansas...Arkansas--from the ancient native tongue meaning more people than teeth) America!
Small web, you say? Interesting. I will have to explore!!!
@aral Really interested in this idea. Look forward to watching progress
@aral so very glad for these reintroductions, affirming my decision to follow. Cool project!

Welcome to the Fediverse
@aral Now you've got me genuinely curious about what constitutes the Small Web. I am going to read up on it.
