An internet full of Joshes. And friends of Joshes.
Joshternet began with a simple idea: find other Joshes who have their own little corners of the internet and see what they’re making. What started as a funny search for namesakes has grown into a network of independent websites, interesting people, and plenty of places worth exploring. You don’t have to be a Josh to join the fun, and nobody has to give up their own website to participate.
Are you a Josh? Get yourself connected. Not a Josh? Come along anyway. Everyone participates on equal terms, and there are plenty more corners of the web to discover.
Join the Joshternet Wander the Joshternet
Some new corners of the internet have joined the adventure. Stop by, have a look around, and see what they've been making.

I’m happy to share my latest Embedded Rust exploits with a new e-paper driver for the exhaustively named LilyGo T5 E-Paper S3 Pro. I got Rust running on it last year but could never find a driver for the epaper screen that worked.
Every website has a person, an idea, or a story behind it. Here are a few places to start exploring. You never know what you’ll find.

Josh Beard works on infrastructure, developer workflows, and software delivery systems
I've been building things on the web since 2016, mostly through Prystine, the web agency I run. Over the years that's grown from "making websites" into looking after them properly — performance, maintenance, and the unglamorous work that keeps a site alive.

There’s always something interesting happening in someone’s corner of the web. Here’s a little of what people have been writing and sharing lately.
Coding models learn from public GitHub, and public GitHub is filling with untested, error-swallowing hello world apps, many written by other models. Why code quality is heading for model collapse.
Herewith, a variety of comments and links and shenanigans and folderol. Thanks for reading and clicking! Bluesky and Mastodon posts (a selection) : My household received mail from a cremation services company. The recipient was cremated 4 years ago. They’re not wrong so much as they are late . It is good that murdering US citizens and immigrants at a steady clip is a losing strategy for a politica
Elections come and go. I would be hard-pressed to count precisely how many elections, midterm elections, primary elections, and special elections I’ve participated in. But if I can vote in an election, I do. I’ve voted for Jessie Jackson and John McCain. One of those I’m still proud of. At heart I am a kind of centrist. I tend to seek a middle way. At worst, this tends to make my opinions lukewarm
One of the best parts of wandering the web is discovering what people make simply because they want to.

An interesting thing happens when you start connecting independent websites: you discover who’s linking to whom, and sometimes who’s exploring similar ideas without ever having met.

No accounts. No signup form. Joshternet doesn’t need another place for you to post your work. You keep your website, your domain, and everything you’ve already built. All you need to participate is a small public declaration at /.well-known/josh, which tells the network your site wants to be part of the adventure.
Being named Josh is optional, and so is declaring Josh identity. The Join guide walks you through publishing the declaration on your own website, checking that it works, and getting discovered. JoshBot can later list sites in the Network—the registry helps with discovery; it is not the Joshternet, and it does not decide who is a Josh.
The Joshternet is still a work in progress, which is part of the fun. The network is growing, the specifications are still Drafts, and there are plenty of things left to figure out. The idea is to build with real people and real websites, learn from what works, and keep the door open for whatever interesting connections come next.
The specifications and governance documents are public for anyone who wants to dig into the details. You don’t need to read them to enjoy exploring the network.
The web is still full of wonderful, weird, interesting places, and plenty of them are hiding behind an ordinary-looking domain name. Joshternet is one small excuse to go looking for them, meet the people behind them, and maybe make a few new connections along the way.
Take a wander, visit somebody’s website, or bring your own corner of the internet into the mix. There are always more Joshes to meet, and more people ready to josh along.
