zincOctober's Steamworks & Refuge

Welcome!

I'm zincOctober, if you didn't catch the header. also zinc, october, octo, other names in other places but that's someone else's problem. I made this page in part to make something, in part to have somewhere to talk about what I've made -- or just to talk, really. you can read more on this page's inception here, if you like. this site, like every active indie web website, is a perpetual work in progress (especially as of writing, where it's basically a template and one fully written page which *isn't this one*), but I think that's kinda the beauty of it. enjoy your stay!

I'll put a chat thing here or something eventually (: (I wanna see about making one from base principles)

okay so gotta get my hands on a server to do that, which I *am* planning on but this one's gunna take a minute.

Updates!

  • bookshelf has a bookshelf now! no books or anything though boutta get distracted by Javascript and RSS feeds next I think - 26-03-24
  • finished up the first pass of the frontpage! still work to be done on the sidebar and *definitely* not done decorating (not even started really), but the core structure is coming together! - 26-03-13
  • Added Updates section! and also box for chat (no chat yet) also also fake margin spacer for flexbox sections (like this one!) - 26-03-13
