This is one of a series of periodic explorations of the Indie Web via the Internet Phone Book project. I am on a personal exploration but also hope to lift the profile of sites I have found.)
Christian Montoya‘s Home Row site is a small collection of interactive games and activities, and while it is not complicated, there is something pleasing about coming across a small website built with a design of simplicity. There are some art and word games there. I poked around and built a little pixel musical note with Christian’s Not A Wordle activity.
And then I checked out his DIY Wordle creator, and now you can play my DS106 Daily Create-inspired Wordle game, if you want.
I still don’t know what Chublins are/were (they look like cute NFT marshmallow creatures) but I like this description that underpins the endeavor: “Chublins is an art project inspired by and born in online culture. The artwork is a celebration of how we express ourselves within the medium by which we connect …”
Finally, I used his PixEmoji art tool to convert a previous collage art project into pixels.
I had an enjoyable time exploring Christian’s site and always appreciate when people like him make free, fun activities and toss them up onto the web for people like me to discover. You can learn a lot more about Christian’s work at his personal website. I admit a curiosity about the interactive story builder FoxTales project, but that will have to be for another day, if that project is even still active.
Peace (and fun),
Kevin
