Welcome to the SmallWeb!

[kalloway]

Welcome to smallweb, a place on DW to discuss all things smallweb.

What is the smallweb/small web? It's people, not companies, and individual websites and small services. It's connections without algorithms and can be informative, quirky, cool, or just there.

If you have a Neocities site, a fediverse account, or, uh, a Dreamwidth journal, congrats, you're already doing the small web thing.

This community is for chatting about small web stuff, showing off websites/personal archives/fan shrines/projects, etc. It might not always be lively, but maybe every now and then we'll bust out the vintage gifs.


1. Don't be a jerk. This should be self-explanatory. If someone is being a jerk in the comments, kindly let me know.

2. Please only offer appropriate advice. The community is open to everyone regardless of experience or skill level. (e.g. a post about HTML on Neocities. Yes: Here are some simple HTML resources! No: You'd be better off running your own server in your basement and also moving to geminispace.)

3. Label your links and note the contents. This applies both to resources and your own projects. This does not need to be a long list; please just let people know what they're clicking on, especially if there is explicit/18+ content.

Just a heads-up, the "Steal This Website" website is now 404.

Darn and thanks for letting me know!

Thank you so much for these shares! All tutorials in things I've been wanting to learn but had just missed the boat in college because I'm in my mid-50s.

And shortly, I'm going to make a post to gather resources to make this list as big as it can. ^_^

This guide for how to Deploy to Neocities on Github might be useful for those struggle with the drag-and-drop uploading. (Page is SFW, rest of site is NSFW/gore)
