Kia ora! Welcome to our wee website. This is a living and breathing project so watch this space.
The main goal of this project is to make a hybrid third place that is equal parts online and offline - treating the internet like a tool to help us rather than a way of life. We're exploring many different methods of coming closer to the goal, which we will highlight on our blog (work in progress).
Currently, our main vision for acheiving this goal is for this website to become a directory of local indie websites to bring together artists, activists, crafters, musicians, and everyone else wanting to escape our algorithmic overlords.
Please contact us if you would like for your website to be featured in our directory.
We will be holding a series of workshops in Ĺtepoti Dunedin to introduce newcomers to the basics of website building; covering HTML/CSS/JavaScript, version control/best practices, and RSS feeds allowing visitors of your website to subscribe to your blog in a decentralised manner (meaning no pesky algorithms dictating which order you see posts in!).
We'd love to have more hands on deck, so contact us if you would like to get involved!
