Can vouch for "dumbphones". I've been hapily using one for a year now and have no regrets, although I'm sure not all of my friends feel the same way as I'm not super reachable. Mine has a hotspot feature which was what made me switch. If I absolutely must use the internet out and about, then at least I'd like to do it on my laptop to be spared mobile formatted websites : p

That's awesome :-) Hope it loaded okay. I've got your feed on my reader too. Looks like there are quite a few of us using it now.

Cheers! I can't claim it's a wholly original idea. But it's been an interesting form to experiment with.

For better or worse, searching Neocities websites by recently updated is always a trip.

Websites are like a garden (if that makes sense to anyone else). Thanks for your kind words!

Yeah I think that's a decent analogy. Btw I'm sorry I missed a comment from you a while back. Didn't mean to just ignore you. Kind of wish there was a notification system on here sometimes (or maybe there is and I'm missing it?).

Just to say, I enjoyed the recent blog post & really appreciate the shout-out. Can definitely relate to the experience of people acting weird about reading (someone shouted "reader" at me once, which I guess they thought was an insult?). And yeah, it's plain old Mike. I slept in the day they handed out the pseudonyms/spy names :/

It's cool to hear from someone who uses one directly. The only thing stopping me from making the switch at the moment is that I travel quite a bit, and a smartphone can be helpful in that regard. But once my current phone finally dies, I'm planning to brave the switch.
May I ask, which model are you using? My partner and I have discussed making thw switch, but still on that quest to find the perfect balance.
Using a Lightphone, I have some reservations about recommending (bad battery life and support outside of the US), but for my purposes it get's the job done. It definitely helps that I really don't travel (I'd be hesitant about using it outside of my city, as in my country it has very limited support). I went with it because I wanted a full keyboard and the hotspot, but many phones offer the latter
