Under Construction
a process for progress
What if something was designed one day, one change at a time?
What if every day, it got just a tiny bit better?
With time, revealed more of itself?
This project explores the ideas of continuous improvement, impermanence, and gradual transitions.
It’s inspired by Under Construction GIFs, Wikipedia, Thing a Week, Song a Day, Atomic Habits, HRT, the IndieWeb, & CSS Zen Garden.
