jennschiffer.com is both my verified domain here *and* my personal website hosted on glitch. @suesmith.lol wrote a tutorial on how you can be ~just like me~

This is what I did, so I'm @jimcarroll.com

How'd you like to use your own domain as your Bluesky handle as well as a Mastodon verified link and get a free website from the delightful @glitch.com along the way..? Ye'd be daft not to dev.to/glitch/verif...

Hey! You know how some people have their own domain name on here instead of AlfFan420.bsky.social or whatever? You can do that too, for free, in a few minutes! (If you already have a domain name.) Here's how: dev.to/glitch/verif... Give it a try!

there are lots of cool sites made by cool humans to look at from the first year of @glitch.com community code jams if you want inspiration. i know that figuring out what to even build is a roadblock for a lot of people
