What happens to your business when TikTok gets banned? Or when Instagram changes its algorithm again?

If your answer is "I don't know," you need a website. @demar.ee wrote about why a solid web presence still matters more than ever: btslttrs.com/li-why-star...
Why would anyone start a website in 2025?
Sure, you could build everything on TikTok—but when you need to grow on your own terms, there's nothing like your own corner of the internet.

"Websites start failing to scale like Hemingway described going bankrupt: gradually, then suddenly." 💥

@demar.ee breaks down the hidden breaking points that turn your first website from asset to liability: btslttrs.com/bsky-first-...
Why your first website works until it doesn't
Your scrappy starter site got you this far—but now that you're growing, it's probably holding you back more than helping you move forward.

Starting a website feels almost old-fashioned these days. But a good one still does what no platform can:

✅ Establishes credibility
✅ Speaks to many audiences
✅ Belongs fully to you

Contributions like ours pay for themselves tenfold every time we look up something like @bell.bz's CSS resets for a client project. And, more importantly, resources like @piccalil.li are foundational to an open, vibrant web platform, and we're proud to offer our support.
We want to give Polypane (polypane.app) and Bits&Letters (www.bitsandletters.com) a huge thank you for their annual support. Individual contributions are really generous, but orgs can afford to give more and will be the difference in us doing this stuff full time.

We were at CSS Day with a LOT of students, thanks to both @bitsandletters.com and CSS Day for sponsoring them! 🫶
Thank you to @bitsandletters.com, who sponsor this year's #CSSDay not for themselves, but to make additional student tickets available to the event! Here are all student attendees on our conf stage. (Plus some special guests / photo bombers, can you spot them?) /ht @demar.ee

An SEO newsletter, by way of saying that Google’s AI Overviews are hot garbage that hurt click-through rates for every query they touch, pointed out you can get Google to invent definitions for nonsense phrases by searching “(weird phrase) meaning”. So I tested it:
