TIL buona parte del Web 1.0 era ospitato da GeoCities, servizio chiuso nel 2019 ma in parte archiviato su GeoCities Gallery.
Ora c'è Neocities.org che ospita più di un milione di siti con la stessa filosofia.
Da The indie web is here to make the internet weird again:
The indie web is about reclaiming space on the internet for human-created content. It’s not about creating the best website, the most optimized one, or the most popular one. It’s about creating whatever you want without caring what an algorithm thinks of it or worrying about an AI ripping it off.
What stood out to me most, and surprised me the most, was how the indie web feels. [...] Rather than the cold apathy I feel while scrolling through Google or social media, I was genuinely curious what the next website would hold, what weird design it would feature, what funky music or fun facts it would include. Some personal websites contained journal entries that left me feeling like I was actually getting to know the person who wrote them, a distinct change from the snarky Twitter posts and tag-filled Instagram captions I’ve grown used to.
