browsed their site a bit, pretty comforting to me personally!
I both feel it’s probably in the spirit of the indie web that there are multiple groups of people trying to help people make their own small website or !digitalgarden@lemmy.world, but also wonder if they could benefit from coordinating (not merging) with each other.
There’s some interesting stuff there, though they advocate for technology that is obscure and difficult to implement and make it seem that it’s the only way to participate in the indie web. They probably should have chosen a different name for their website.
It would be nice to see, but I doubt that anything like that would happen.
Some people view the IWC is opinionated or a form of technoelitism

And some people don’t want to associate them with the small web and the like because they promote using things like AWS

I do like some of their ideas, like the blog themes. New bloggers would probably get a kick out of taking part. Sometimes the themes reflect on the IndieWeb too
