I really appreciate what you've done with inprogress.works. My personal two cents as someone who encountered it in the Are.na community newsletter is that I find it immensely helpful as a motivation to even THINK about documenting, something I struggle with because sometimes i don't like being perceived. But because it isn't a big algorithmic platform and it is that small space filled with creators with roughly the same values, I actually don't really mind being seen even a little there, and I really enjoy clicking through everyone's updates each week.
I also really love the idea that working on something a little every week will equal some sort of progress - not rocket science I know, but I guess it was a nice little reality check I needed when I'm struggling to balance work, rest and also doing things I enjoy.
Working on things slowly and steadily - I'm glad a space to do that intentionally exists! And I think it's a nice way to get inspired from people who are genuinely enjoying and making things for the sake of making things.
Ended up being long, but I just wanted to big up what you've done here! Love from Manchester, UK <3
aww thank you!!! yeah I think the lack of algorithmic incentives means you're really just on there because you want to make regardless of outcome! I also resonate with gradual process every week. one of my first rituals that I still do now is just trying to run once a week (I've been doing it for 2.5 years!)
wait i love this... might have to sign up now!!
neat idea!
thanks for sharing, connie!!
