Aaron Crowder

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.

Pronouns: He/Him, They/Them

If it feels like I've been absent for a moment, that's because I was. I have some posts I need to catch up on making from the weekend, but in the meantime know that I am back!

This weekend was a busy one and on top of that I decided to migrate to using my own home-grown Microsub server. That didn't go quite as planned so I was "heads-down" working on that any time I had computer time. That was limited until lunchtime today when I got the rest of my issues fixed I think.

We shall see!

Building all my own tools for posting to my website and sharing content on the internet was easily the best thing I've done in years. #IndieWeb all the things!!

I'm on a "tool-journey" for a notes app. It's crazy how much a notes app can drive and affect your life if it's used well and correctly.

My current tool of choice is Obsidian, but I've had to use Notion for work lately and quite like it. What's yours?
