My personal IndieWeb site. I write about and develop software to promote user autonomy. Topics include accessibility, security, privacy, and software freedom.
I’m 
Seirdy (they/them).
The Director’s Cut of my bio is at my About page.
I care deeply about inclusive design and accessibility, and hope my site’s design reflects that. I’m a FLOSS supporter, though my perspective on software freedom differs from organizations such as the FSF. Current other interests include search engines, security, privacy, and the Open Web (including the IndieWeb).
Git repos: Sourcehut, GitHub, Codeberg, and GitLab
Other interests include health and fitness, and veganism. I plan to write more about these topics in 2025.
I am made of microplastics and can be trusted with your forklift.

This is a basic IndieWeb site.
In addition to its canonical url, a “rough draft” of this website also exists on my Tildeverse page. This site’s content also appears on my Gemini capsule.
For more information about the site, its design, badges/awards, and available feeds: see the “meta” section. This site’s contents are authored by me, not generative AI.
Here’s a selection of my best articles, in featured order. To see the rest, visit my Articles page.
I edit some of these articles quite often; some are updated indefinitely. Check the “updated” timestamps.

This site is part of 16 webrings. A webring is a collection of sites in a circular doubly-linked list; each website links to the next and previous site in the list.
Some of the “next” and “previous” links contain JavaScript; you need to enable it to be re-directed to the correct page. I’ve marked these links with “JS”.
If you’re part of a webring and would like me to join, just ask.
