2026 Projects
A masterlist of medium-to-large projects I want to work on for the following year.

- Now Page
- EDIT (02/21): Been thinking about how much of a pain updating a markup-based microblog is going to be and am worried about maintaining another RSS feed. So I am testing micro.blog to see how much of the heavy lifting it can do for me without compromising access to my data. Pretty promising so far.
- Using nami’s Pastille template, I want to set up a little hub for my microblogs and status on my site. It will replace the Rentry page. Not sure how or where to add the Community Event and Writing Backlog sections yet.
- It will start as an archive for my Tumblr art blog before turning into an archive of toots and posts in other accounts (likely Mastodon and Pillowfort).
- Projects page
- Outside my fics, I have other little projects and stray ideas I want to give them a home on my website. For example, one large project is a reimagining of Inazuma Eleven’s OG as an Otome Game, and a small project is a list of fic prompts. Also my OC stuff like character profiles.
Socmed
- Add crosspost links to respective site blog posts.
- EDIT (02/27): I finished linking all the older posts on my main blog. Hooray! Now it’s the newest ones (2025-present) that I might consider crossposting or not. Mostly because it’s such a drag and some have images.

- ArimaMary site homepage V2 ☑️
- EDIT (03/10): Phew, after a lot of hard work, I made my first multi-column layout using flexbox. Couldn’t have done it without Kalechip’s flexbox columns and the multiple inspirations such as nami’s site, ballonlea, and zhongvie. Neocities is doing the funnies and the CSS isn’t loading properly but done is done!
- There’s lots I want to change from my site’s current homepage. From making a multi-column layout to adding an archive for site updates to a newsfeed.
- Link Hub Update ☑️
- EDIT (02/27): Up and done!
- Now that I have created categories for my online presence, I’m refining their placement.
- Ads on Rentry tick me the wrong way so I decided to look for another place to host the 2026 Projects and /Now page. That alternative is micro.blog! It’s been really easy to update and uses Markdown so styling is a breeze. I’ve also changed my perspective on what I consider social media so I have to add Pillowfort into that section.
- My Toyhou.se is still empty so I see no reason so link to it. With that section gone, I want to create a Legacy category, and move the WP and FFN accounts there.
- There are also several writing hubs I need to add. I write a lot!
- ArimaMary After Dark Homepage V2 ☑️
- EDIT (02/24): Wish I had a screen of the previous version with the new one but it’s done! Super happy how this turned out. I also made a wireframe with Excalidraw to share. Need to make a blog post about this.
- In an effort to test what kind of homepage I want my main website to have, I want to change the homepage of it’s 18+ sister site. At the time of writing this, I have made a lot of progress.
- Linkfree ☑️
- Links Page for main website ☑️
- EDIT (01/29): Also done! Added so many new things. There’s a whoooollleee section on the small web, lots of web dev resources, and even media recs!
- I planning to merge my current web dev commonplace and my Links page. The former is cluttered and messy and the latter is rather empty.
- I started this on 2025 on a whim and haven’t completed it.
New
- Newsfeed ☑️
- EDIT (03/10): Along with the homepage 2.0 design I also finished this.
- I’ve been considering a way to archive Mastodon toots and setting up a microblog section on my main site. So between looking at my options, I decided to add a newsfeed section on my main site with past toots.
- Archive Mastodon Threads ☑️
- EDIT (03/10): Done! Nothing much to say than it’s a plain-text archive. I completed this alongside the 2.0 homepage update.
- Some longform threads that I would like to archive. Maybe I should just make them blog posts.
- (18+) ArimaMary After Dark Blog with Zonelets ☑️
- (18+) Ryuugamine Kiyoshi’s (OC) Character profile ☑️
- Just like his OC counterpart, I wanted to make an OC profile for him as well. Valentine’s Day was the fastest date I could use as an excuse so voila! Should probably make an accompanying blog post…
- Blog with Zonelots ☑️
- EDIT (01/29): Self-hosted blog right here!
- I’m been thinking a lot about what software to host my blog with. I decided on Zonelots because it’s rather basic and I feel it’s a good way to start on the anything-self-host are of web dev.

- EDIT (02/21): I am also archiving some microblog threads that may be of public interest but haven’t published yet. Think event might be good motivation to get it done.
- I wanna join this even to focus on archiving my blog posts from my Wattpad account. It’s… quite a lot, a hundrer seventy-seven entries. Some of them include meta related to the Inazuma Eleven Walker livestreams before Ares/Orion came out. Those are very important to me. I have very fond memories of those times.
I’m not holding myself too responsible for taking part in these challenges. It’s a lot because I don’t know how much I will be able to take part in which so this is more a year-long list of challenges I would like to participate to keep up the blogging habit.
