How did you find the websites to make this list?

@ameliagruber Just re-answering here, as I commented on this elsewhere. My main origins for sourcing site ideas were: Award sites - mainly awwwards, cssdesignawards and FWA. Design social networks - sites like Behance & Dribbble Design magazines like Smashing Magazine. Social media accounts (mainly Twitter) of web designers Product Hunt - to check which sites are listed on the profiles of prolific makers and hunters My personal network of people telling me about cool personal sites they stumbled upon Since launching, I received dozens of site submissions online. I'll do my best to review them all (contact me if you want to help), and get them up to the site as soon as I can. I also mentioned before that my criteria for acceptance isn't necessarily to have only the best looking personal websites, but to include a variety of styles, services and technologies to see what's actually there and what are people currently doing to design their personal homes on the web. Thank you all for taking the time to submit sites, review, upvote and get inspiration.

Just submitted my site over. Do you feature all sites that get submitted?

@aliciaunderwood First, thanks for submitting. This is great! I don't have a fixed methodology yet for accepting/rejecting submissions as this is all fairly new. I got a few dozen submissions so far, so I'll probably accept any reasonable submission. The idea in the first place was to reflect the "state of personal websites" and not necessarily to feature just the jaw-dropping designs. Of course, I'm trying to prevent spammy submissions as much as I can. Hopefully that's not the case here. btw - I'm currently reviewing all the submissions myself. If anyone wants to participate, review websites, add websites or anything else you can think of - you are all more than welcome. Drop me a msg here, or on twitter and I'll get back to you.

What a great idea for a project, I love exploring people's personal sites, they have so much more personality than social media profiles. And thank you for including mine, it was a nice surprise coming across it while exploring the site! 😄

@jamesdaly90 I agree that personal sites hold the potential for much more versatility and creativeness than any social profile. While exploring different sites, I encountered some really jaw dropping examples of personal creativity. Thank you for making them!

This can also double as a search engine for web designers or developers. When you see what they are doing for themselves, it's a great way to discover someone who can help you with your project.

@malcolmserge That's exactly what I was thinking when making it! I'm thinking about making some functionality to approach the site owner to hire him or her. What do you think?

Hello humans, So, I wanted to build myself a personal website.  It's shocking, but some people still do that and I wanted to discover what are the best designs for personal sites today? What technologies and services are people using? Are people coding them from scratch? Is Squarespace and Wordpress so popular as it seems? Is purple the new black in website design? I needed inspiration and fast, so I started reviewing personal homepages. I wanted to see what other makers are building; What are designers building? Or maybe people in other industries - authors? photographers? hairdressers? Where can I find some good examples that lead me to my design. Fast forward a few weeks, I talked to a few dozens of inspirational makers, designers and developers. They told me their stories and shared a bit about how they built their homes on the web. I also reviewed over a thousand personal websites from all over the globe - from Japan to Brazil, America to Qatar. The result is humans.fyi. This is a design gallery of the internet homes of the people who are building the internet.  Many of the websites featured on the list were made by the awesome members of this maker community, so check if your own website is there and submit it if it's not. I'd love to have them all for future reference and for inspiration. Feel free to browse and enjoy. You can filter, sort, upvote stuff, share on social media. You know how these things work. Have a good time. Follow the project manifesto and roadmap on this notion page: https://www.notion.so/What-s-beh... Oh, I still didn't build my page, being so busy with making this list, but I'm on my way and will update once it's done.

@kobyof Last time I had a personal website with my name in the domain was like 7 years ago. Since, I stopped paying godaddy, some scammer got the domain and is dropshipping from it (good luck with that), and I'm using twitter as my go-to place to send people that want information about me and my business.  Why do you think I should bother with a personal domain and design and stuff?

@davidleib4 I was actually asking myself the same thing :) I guess when you have your own space online you can control the design and content and it's forever yours (as long as you pay godaddy... right?) With other platforms, they can use your data, you are restricted to their structure and their design. For example, with Twitter you have just so much space to put your bio and links. Whoever gets to your profile page may need to scroll quite a bit to get to the interesting parts (even if you pin something). Moreover, when you have your own space I guess you can showcase your design abilities, which is really important for those of us who code or design stuff online. As platforms get better, and you can customize them quite a bit, it gets tougher to decide. It's still an open question for me, but I think I'm going to rebuild my personal webpage quite soon. I got a lot of inspiration building this project, and I have a few ideas of interesting stuff I want to make.

@kobyof I built myself website on about.me platforma 5 years ago. Thinking about changing now. Will look for advice.

I like the idea. Things that I would add: - login feature / personal account to keep things that I like (I'm not sure about where do things I upvote are saved right now) - commenting - user photos

@ianlarsen17 Thanks for the feedback. - Commenting is coming. Already got it up on the dev version. Should be up soon. - Authentication - I'm kind of hesitating. Currently users' upvotes are saved on Local Storage. I don't want to make things too complicated. - I actually do pull user photos from social media accounts via API. You can see them when you click on the website screenshot. Maybe I'll incorporate them more tightly in the future. I don't want to make the UI too dense.

Do you have a personal website (your own domain, your design etc.) ?
