A Small Wins: Jan 2023 - March 2026
Other than wondering what to do with myself knowing that my Chattable is eventually going to need to be replaced with something else...I found myself reflecting on what I built since Finding Carrd in 2023.
First of all, in 2023, Koji "link-in-bio" died because LinkTree axed it then paywalled it's best features. It happily offered me 3 months "free" for importing my Koji back onto LinkTree...
I used Koji's import for my LinkTree because I was fed up that basic recoloring a page was paywalled. Then LinkTree repaywalled it.
Found Carrd sometime mid 2023, and made:
* rezceptionist.carrd.co
* rezzystartups.carrd.co
I upgraded to Pro Plus because I love managing my site from my phone, iPad or laptop...whatever is in reach when I have an update idea.
In 2024, I created a cute tool that double as Progressive Web App if you add it to homescreen on your mobile device: also have this site that you see on my subdomain: rikki.rezceptionist.com
Finding Notepin, Chattable and Status.Cafe early 2025 changed how I wanted my hub to look.
The fact that Carrd Pro Plus only cost me $50USD for 25 sites, $18 for five years of my main domain being attached to my Medium makes sure that my business minded blogs are SEO searchable.
Thinking of upgrading to Notepin's $11/year plan so I can add pics here and change the font :)
Overall, spending less than $75 for 25 website slots that I don't have to pay monthly for...and being able to connect to subdomains?
It is a small win, but it feels amazing. Here's to the last 3 years of R&D.

Neocities, why u did this to me?
Just when I thought I was out, HTML/CSS/JS pulls me right back 20 years into the past. But at least this time, i don't have to cry every two...
