This website

I was inspired to make this website by this issue of the Yesterweb Zine and the little personal sites that my friends from the fediverse have made. I wanted to build a place that was truly my own, where I could express myself on my own terms away from monetized corporate social media sites and their cookie-cutter profile page layouts. I approached this project like a work of art, writing the HTML & CSS from scratch without the use of templates. I even drew the tiling background image just for this website.

I'm passionate about accessibility and take great care to make sure all the images on the page have alt text that completely translates all the relevant visual information to text, and is rendered well by screen readers. It's actually pretty fun! Let me know if you notice anything I can improve.

As for the domain name, I chose cosmox.space because I love space; I love gazing up at the cosmos and wondering about the possibilities that its incomprehensible size entails. But cosmos.space was taken so I put a stylistic 'x' there.
