🚀 Projects

I frequently build things! A few things I’m particularly proud of:

Project	Description
chatterbox-webhook-relay	A lightweight webhook relay for development and automation
JetBrains Window Accent	A JetBrains IDE plugin for customizing window accents
IndieWeb Website	My IndieWeb site and personal corner of the web

See my repositories for everything else I’m tinkering with.

🌐 The IndieWeb

I’ve been building my own little corner of the web using the IndieWeb principles.

Identity

alexblakegoudemond.com

This is my personal identity domain and IndieAuth identity.

Website

absurdlygoud.com

This is where my actual IndieWeb content lives.

The two domains deliberately have different responsibilities:

alexblakegoudemond.com
        │
        │ identity
        │ IndieAuth
        ▼
absurdlygoud.com
        │
        │ content
        ▼
     IndieWeb

My identity is represented using Microformats, with h-card and rel="me" relationships connecting my domains and online identities.

Building things, learning things, and occasionally wondering why I started building the thing.
