I love email, recently started subscribing to artists' and illustrators' (non-substack) newsletters and it's a great way to stay informed if they otherwise only have fascist social media accounts. The newsletters somehow also feel more personal than meny social media posts.
I understand the struggle. I do. I still have an "Under construction" page on the domain I bought like a decade ago because I want a decent artist portfolio site and Wordpress is not the super easy dream they all claimed so I've nuked it like a dozen times. (And tried Grav, and Hugo, and...)
But seriously WHY do so many great artists like, even ones who could afford hosting a dedicated page, ONLY have an Instagram?! (And now a TikTok ugh). One AI-decided account ban or rebrand or algorithm change or whatever and their entire portfolio and audience are just gone.
It's really sad that there aren't more non-developer targeted FOSS projects for just getting a halfway decent page going. All those sites like Wix or Square charge a ridiculous amount and still give you a bloated mess that doesn't function unless people allow tons of chonky JavaScript.
/rant lol...
