Hi, I'm Aaron Crowder. Or—if you know me online—CrowderSoup.

Father of two, Software developer, and lover of the open web. I like to take things apart (and sometimes even put them back together). I can frequently be found tinkering with some bit of code in my spare time.

Body Doubling Night
Aaron Crowder

My girlfriend Azure and I sometimes do body doubling night where we each take part in our own hobbies in the same room as each other. It's a great way to spend time together and still have our own interests. Azure Azure's been working on her alcohol ink art. She's getting really good! I love watching her create art. Aaron I've been working on my blog (of course lol). I created a workable posting interface from the front-end of this blog. It's what I'm using to write this post (mostly as a t...

Created a post editor UI that works on mobile!

It’s a PWA so it can be added to your Home Screen on your phone. This will make it much easier for me to post here.

Posting this using my phone from my updated Django admin theme. I am trying out Unfold. I still think for mobile that a proper Micropub client, but it will work well for desktop.

IndieWeb Foundations
Aaron Crowder

I have been fascinated by the IndieWeb community for years. I have participated on and off as well, using this URL even. But my website has gone through so many iterations over the years that I've long since lost all that content. This iteration of my blog is designed to be the start of my IndieWeb comeback story. It's a project, which always seems to help keep me engaged. Like all software, it will never be "done", and thus will always give me something to work on when I have time to work on...

This is my first post created using my new micropub endpoint! Super excited to flesh out more IndieWeb functionality for my blog.

Resume Website
Aaron Crowder
