Homebrew Website Club - Asia Pacific

Join the 🌏 Asia Pacific edition of Homebrew Website Club (HWC)!

HWC is a meetup for anyone interested in personal websites and the independent, small web. Whether you’re building your first site, improving an existing one, or just curious about owning your content and building a presence online without Big Tech or silos. You’re warmly invited.

Why is there another remote HWC event?

Existing remote HWCs are centred around US and European time zones. This session is created to make it easier for people in Southeast Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and nearby regions to join and take part in the IndieWeb conversation.

The “Asia Pacific” label just indicates the time zone. You’re welcome to join from anywhere in the world!

Event status

The inaugural Homebrew Website Club - Asia Pacific session is planned for August 5, 2026. If there are any changes, it will be indicated on this page.

What to expect

We’ll discuss a variety of topics, such as website ideas and design, HTML/CSS, personal publishing, and practical ways to take control of your online identity. There’s also time for casual conversation, progress sharing/demos, and getting to chat with other members of the IndieWeb community!

A photo will be taken midway during the event (with ample notice, you don't have to be in it if you don't want to). And there is no expectation for you to turn on video if you so wish.

Please read the code of conduct before attending. We aim to keep this a welcoming, respectful space where everyone can participate comfortably.

Time

HWC Asia Pacific will run for 1h 30m, from 5:30pm to 7:00pm HKT (9:30–11:00am UTC). You can join (or leave) at any time during this period. The tentative plan is to run the Asia Pacific edition twice a month, depending on how much interest there is.

Notes and participation

Participants are encouraged to help take shared notes during the meeting in the Etherpad (a collaborative writing tool) linked above. These notes will later be archived on the IndieWeb wiki.

The Zoom link will be shared on this page shortly before the meetup begins.

RSVP (optional)

There's no RSVP needed—just show up! Join the Zoom call (no account is required) and say hello. Everyone is welcome, regardless of experience.

But if your personal website supports it, you can post an Indie RSVP or login to this site and click the "I'm Going" button below.

Host

This meetup is hosted by Naty S. Her IndieWeb chat name is: burgeonlab. If you are based in the Asia Pacific time zone and have interest in co-hosting, please contact Naty.

Questions?

If you’d like to get some help, you can ask on the IndieWeb chat using the event channel. You can use IRC, Discord, Slack or chat in the browser.
