I would love to see more resources for folks for getting started.
The getting-started hump is the biggest one. Coding is intimidating, especially people who have not been technical, like artists.
Having more entries to the indie web is important, and to do that you have to meet people where they are. Hopefully in five years we will have a better idea of how to bring people into the indie web a little bit better. I hope more folks are willing to donate their time to help grow this side of the web into something powerful and life-changing.
