@ragman and I hosted #HTMLDay in Philadelphia's Washington Square park today. A couple photos we took have been uploaded to the are.na. We were pleasantly surprised that many people found out about us through neocities! Some also from bluesky or mastodon, and some that showed up because of a friend or sheer happenstance. Folx made pro-comic sans and the color pink stickers, pipe cleaner art, interactive nfc tags for trees and weevils, chatted about journaling, game accessibility, and community gardens. Of course, we also made some html pages: a crowd sourcing of favorite tags from followers, a gallery of visitor selected colors, a collection of fun dithered instruments, and more! Thanks to everyone who came to hang out, it was a very respectful and lovely time with wonderful people.
