first attempt

I started to make a website for my personal reader with code from https://ainsleyromero.com/
You can see the start here: https://hub.xpub.nl/cerealbox/~chrissy/personal%20reader/
Although, the separation in "aesthetics", "kinda tech" & "memes/GIFs work (not)" doesn't fit anymore, because the thematics of my readings is a bit more all over the place & cannot sort in this raster anymore. Still want to keep a raster for a better overview for myself. (Having a hard time to concentrate on one topic, or topics around that topic)

However, I'm planning to make a basic website as my personal reader with the function to export as PDF. Since most of my resources are online & my annotations are digital as well, this way makes the most sense in my opinion. I also want to link to the PDFs I'm reading & having an extra "reading list" with all my resources without my personal notes, to use it as a form of resource sharing.

My reading list for the personal reader:

[W O R K I N P R O G R E S S]
Tags: Aesthetics / Anti-Work / (Anti-)Capitalism / Aesthetics / Activism / Internet Culture: Memes, Aesthetics / Piracy / Live Coding / Aesthetics or Act of challenging assumed rules and conventions in graphic design: Messiness, Disorder, Provoking
