nadyanayme Goto Github PK

Nadya Nayme is an anonymous psuedonym that is a name-like variant of "Not a Name". It became my primary nickname after I couldn't use the name "Anonymous" when commenting on css-tricks. I've gone by many other psuedonyms but they mostly have been lost to time or scrubbed from the internet and replaced. Much of my online presence was around the Runescape community where I was known as "Nyu", which is my username in-game. However "Nyu" is very difficult to get as a username so I have been using "NadyaN" and eventually the more complete "NadyaNayme" since around 2012-2013.

I am a 90's kid at heart that firmly believes that sharing personally identifying information should be avoided. It is bizarre to me that, seemingly overnight in the early 2010s, it became completely normal to share everything about yourself on The Internet. Although I've been programming for nearly two decades if you look at the quality of my code it looks more like two weeks at most. I hack things together until it works and when it inevitably breaks I burn it to the ground and start again from scratch. I call this terrible approach "write-only programming". I pay nearly $75 a year for a vanity URL for my file uploads at kimiga.aishitei.ru and I use Neocities to host my personal website which I have historically updated very sparingly but where you can read more about me and my interests. But who would want to do that?

• Neocities - Many web developers got started by building little personal sites on Geocities. I used to freelance by creating Geocity pages for local businesses. Neocities helps to keep the "personal web" alive. I love the "personal web" created by amateur web developers and the wonderful things they create and share.
• mmm.page - More restrictive than Neocities, by design, but also easier to use for users who may not be tech-savvy in the slightest. Another part of the "personal web" and I wish the creator best of luck in growing their project.
• Redact.dev - An easy-to-use tool to scrub/delete history on various social media platforms. These kind of tools come and go all the time for specific sites as one-off CLI Python scripts here on Github, but this one looks to have enough development power backing it that I hope it sticks around for a while.
