Welcome to LIBRE.TOWN! This is Lianna's personal homepage.

Libre Town is a virtual town: my way of both expressing myself online and forming genuine connections with others via the web. In Libre Town, you will find my projects, shrines, blog posts, and many more little hypertext surprises.

It is part of the broader "web revival" movement, a loose term for those who reject social media as the prime avenue of interpersonal interaction, and consider the mainstream internet unethical, boring or limiting. Nonetheless, we want to use the World Wide Web to find friends and socialize. For that purpose, we create and manage our own personal amateur homepages, our own corners of the World Wide Web; and connect with others through web-rings, chat-rooms, e-mail and the web itself.

It can be considered part of hacker culture, a post-modernist art movement, or just a hobby; it's all up to the eye of the beholder.

Check out the navigation bar to find out what Libre Town has to offer. Many pages have sub-pages, so feel free to click around!

I hope you enjoy your stay at Libre Town.

A Note on Links

As described in the Hypertext Maximalist's Manifesto, there are two types of links on Libre Town. The colorless underlined passages that blend in are complementary hyperlinks leading to further resources, explanations or citations. In contrast, the bold, colorful links are the "main" hyperlinks, important and essential to the passage's intent.

It is my goal to use this dual system to strike a balance between keeping Libre Town readable and linking to as many relevant, useful or interesting web resources as possible.

Updates / Changelog

• (08th of October, 2024) · After quite some absence, I went out of my way to start maintaining an RSS feed that notifies you of any changes to the site (just like this section!). I also added new artists of the month that I missed; I'm sorry. I will try to do more with this website!!
• (29th of July, 2024) · While working on secret projects in the background, I haven't been able to make updates to the public-facing site until now. Added new Artist of the Month entries to the Music shrine for July and August respectively.
• (08th of June, 2024) · Added a new Artist of the Month to the Music shrine and made some amends to the Toki Pona shrine, Tomo Kon.
• (16th of May, 2024) · Added a new Artist of the Month to the Music shrine, and thereby also renamed the category to "Artist of the Month", removing the "obscure" qualifier.
• (30th of April, 2024) · Changed the typeface of the website to a default serif style, because the previous typeface was beautiful but relatively unreadable. Serif fonts are also very nostalgic!
