Manifesto
First off, what is a manifesto? A manifesto is a public, written declaration of the intentions, motives, or beliefs of an individual.
Many people wrote a manifesto about why they create their website, and what for. In this article, I will be able to explain why I created this website, what are my aims, I will also give my point of view of the Indie Web Community.
Introduction
People could think it is ridiculous for a 14 year-old to create a blog in the Indie Web. But for me, it's discovering facts, new skills, and trying to slowly disconnect from social media, especially from doom scrolling. I understand that this got "over-shown" to the public like a trend, but since I'm a geek, trying to learn new things, coding myself without Coding Agents, I thought it could be interesting to try, and I am also opened to recieve ideas from people, as my website is still under construction, appropriate pages will be made shortly.
I have experienced coding on VS Code and many other apps for a long time, and it is time for me to practice more and discover and learn new styles on this app. Some websites, and apps, helped me, for sure, but I, at least tried to put myself into work and try and make mistakes.
My website isn't perfect and people could be like... "What the fuck, many errors, many bad stuff", yes it is not perfect, I'm a 14 year-old beginner discovering new tools, new styles, and other complicated shit.
I can still say that I'm proud trying new things and sometimes work with my hands, it makes me do reflection, think, and try and make mistakes, as someone who doesn't really like to make mistakes, I'm not gonna lie, it's good for me to learn from my own mistakes, and try again until I find a solution. If you are not happy with my content or what I post, feel free to leave my website, or explore the NeoCities website list, you can find plenty of good website there.
Freedom
I made this blog/website or whatever to post all my shit, with freedom, because yes, first off, I'm anonymous, so I have no problem about being "cringe" like people say, or being ridiculous on social media.
As a teen, I feel like yes, teens are so judgemental, like how I was in the past, because I thought that judging people was "cool", but now I have changed and decided that everyone could have their own freedom, and be happy in their lives!
I find the Internet, sometimes a safe place, yes, the Internet can be a safe place, you heard me, there could be some bad dumb individuals, but there is also some nice individuals, like on the Indie Web Community, we support each other, we give advices, free tutorials, and we do many more things.
Accessibility
On the Internet, there's some "do"s, and "don't"s, even in real life, but now that I'm online, and basically "anonymous", well I guess I can swear with all freedom I got in my heart, how cool is that!
I am warning you on this manifesto that there could be some massive swearing on different topics, which could happen a lot, however, if you are not confortable with that, there will be warnings on posts, do not worry! ≧▽≦
I will try to make my website accessible for people that have difficulties/disabilities: dyslexia, mixed decoding/comprehension issues, and hyperlexia. I had 2 choices: make your webiste accessible to everyone to be ableist and just leave it like that (yes, on the Internet there is ableist people who do not think about people with disabilities, example of corporate websites!). I chose accessibility of course, and I am planning to put in place many solutions.
