We Turn One

thugs

Today is the official 1 year anniversary of HTML Giant.

Thanks to everyone, contributors (past and present), commenters, lurkers, snarkies, all: together who have made it even better than we imagined. For me it’s been fun, inspiring, and a pleasure to be a part of. I hope so for you too.

Let’s make some more.

      i’m a recent gianter, having found this group/blog/etc. a few weeks ago from Molly Gaudry’s and Sean Lovelace’s blogs, but it’s done the awesome trick of getting my brain and fingers moving again after a 2’ish year post-writing program hiatus. can’t thank you enough for that.

      as vehemently as possible i disagree with a major editorial decision at htmlg and the manner in which it was carried out, which was fucked; otherwise it’s been a goddamn mecca and every few months becomes something other than itself given the open-circuitry of its architecture of contributors and commenters, a self-sustaining, self-invigorating feedback loop.
