Resources

banner Under Aurora's Starlight banner

for the curious and the wanderers

In the following section there will be all the resources and cool pages I could find :D It's a work in progress, a bit of a record of everything which has shaped my path through the indie web until now. Every page has a charm of its own, and I hope it'll be as fun for you to discover them as it was for me!

A special word to all who have shared their journeys, resources and fun creations: Thank you for adding your unique light to this corner of the world, and I hope this lives up to the riches and whimsy you've given & give in every detail and in every page. It's thanks to these contributions that we can still find warmth and beauty in cyberspace ♡
