vibes

• museum / exploratorium
• playground / farmer’s market
• home / layered / textured
• makeshift / evolving / shifting
• drawing a day
• set of konami codes for additional permissions
  • the “owner” code that lets you edit things / update the announcement so i can actually do it when I go to the site? (then it needs to actually make a pr lol)
• window
  • 3 windows, one for weather, one for latest photo of the sky, one for latest selfie
  • like a personal bereal
• doorstep / threshold
  • ghosts of cursors, dancing party
  • a blackboard like at terrace house, where people’s writing fades over time. I can also use it as an announcement place (maybe it slides down if you click on it to take all of the space or you have to visit enough in order to unlock writing?)
• live info that makes it feel intimate
  • last location
  • 
• artsy homepage that can be continually experimented with
• nice responsive blog
  • should be something i can update continuously from the writing software that I prefer rather than needing to ferry data between things
    • might need to put this on a subdomain to really design well for this case, compared to experiments on my main place..

  • show interesting time scales
• people page
