[Alt-text for pfp: a cute sharkaeopteryx sat on the ground with legs out, wings down, jaw ajar, and hed empty, looking at eggbug and eggbug's enigmatic smile.]

I'm a Vietnamese cis woman born and currently living in the U.S. You may know me from Sandwich, from Twitter or Mastodon (same username), or on Twitch as Sharkaeopteryx. I do not have a Discord or Bluesky account.

Ask me about language learning/teaching, cooking/eating food, late diagnosis ADHD, and volunteer small business mentoring. Or don't, I'm not the boss of you.


I think people deserve to be young, make mistakes, and grow without being held to standards they don't know about yet and are still learning. So, if you are under 22, please don't try to strike up a friendship or get involved in discussions on my posts.


Please don't automatically assume I follow/know/co-sign someone just because I reposted something from them—sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Also, if you think being removed as a follower when we're not mutuals is a cardinal sin, please do not follow me.

  • shrines: decorate some of your pages to be about your favourite media
  • toybox: want to display pics, gifs, and widgets on your site but don't know where to put them? just make a new page dedicated to the random crap. no need to organize it.
  • comments: you don't need wordpress or the like for them! i have disqus but you can shop around to see what you want.
  • show off the stuff you have
  • guestbook: like in old times. ise use 123guestbook but that's shutting down so you may have to look around. tip: a guestbook can literally just be a page dedicated to a comments widget.
  • webgardens/greenhouse: this thing. create a 250x250 size bit of your website and let everyone embed it on theirs as an iframe
  • EDIT: oh yeah, secrets and easter eggs! this share, with a related but different idea reminded me of those
  • these ideas
  • EDIT 2: a now page: mine is just a link to my media thread, my backloggd playing, and a bunch of widgets to pull in data from last.fm and goodreads so that I don't have to remember to update the page, but you might be fine with that.
  • EDIT 2: credits! list what you used to make your website, from resources to tools. maybe also thank anyone who helped you.
  • EDIT 3: links to other websites. this is kind of important do that people who find your website can find more. your friends, sites that look cool or have cool stuff, YouTube channels that you like, etc.
  • EDIT 4: these 100 things, suggested by @noahtheduke

and of course, explore around neocities and nekoweb and see what else you can do!

I wonder how hard/how bad of an idea it would be to make a fully selfhosted web 1.0 guestbook

just a guestbook email address and a script that puts emails send to it (with a specified format) in the guestbook page
