IndieWeb Examples

capjamesg

capjamesg has a "playground" where he keeps one-off web pages he has designed. He made the playground in May 2025. It is available at https://playground.jamesg.blog/.

The playground index lists all design experiments; every experiment has its own file or two.

In most cases, experiments are contained within a single HTML file using inline CSS, and JavaScript where appropriate. Keeping all the code for a project in one file is easier to maintain; there are no conflicts between style files.

Joe Crawford

Joe Crawford has had a lab since 2000, when it was a subdirectory of artlung.com and contained experimental HTML and JavaScript and code snippets in multiple server-side programming languages. It is now on the lab.artlung.com subdomain. Disqus has powered comments on most pages since 2009. Webmention, and feed (RSS) support was added in 2024. Source code is on GitHub.
