I wrote this little web book in 2024 because I wanted to express the simplicity of HTML and show how easy it is for anyone to get started by making their own personal website.

As of today, HTML for People is available in three languages!

English: https://htmlforpeople.com/

Español: https://victorhck.gitlab.io/htmlparapersonas/

Português: https://htmlepessoas.com/

Many thanks to [@victorhck](https://mastodon.social/@victorhck ) and Pablo Murad :_tuki: (npub1dg4…a54x) for their work translating and hosting the other versions!

I know! And it's supposed to be a peaceful little coastal town or something. The police should have been on to her by like episode 3.

I can’t stop thinking about the fact that the difference between a million dollars and a billion dollars is about a billion dollars.

Does anybody have opinions on VPS providers? I'm a long time shared/managed hosting user who wants to try his hand at running a basic web app on a VPS.

Hey, thanks for reading! Yeah, actually that's a good point. I'm in a suburban area that's not very conducive to pedestrians. I think wheelchair users usually have a much better time in an urban environment as far as being able to get to things.

Because of my disability, spinal muscular atrophy, I spend a lot of time using a computer. I decided to write about my experience and the internal struggle I have with it.

Great writeup. I also carry a lot of cognitive dissonance when using AI for development work. I don’t really know what to do with the feelings and feel a bit stuck.

At the same time I was recently able to make a macOS accessibility tool that me and a handful of people have been using daily and it’s made things so much easier for us. It probably would have never existed without the LLMs.
