  • Yeah, this isn’t supposed to be a silver bullet, it’s more about democratizing the internet more.

    I think that

    • Low barrier to entry
    • Focus on users owning their own content
    • Privacy is more important than advanced functionality

    I.e. if you want to start a blog, it should be easy own it and host it yourself rather than surrending your content to Twitter and Facebook. Make it accessible to others who also want to surf the web without being targeted and tracked.


  • I have a vision of starting a <noscript> community.

    Basically building a set of tools to help people host content with just plain HTML and CSS, using static personal hosting and organically sharing links like the pioneer days of the web.

    I think that the shift to client-side scripting, like tracking pixels, algorithmic content, infinite scrolling, targeted advertising, etc is how we ended up with the monoculture we see today.

    Just disable JavaScript on your browser and 99% of those things go sway and we can support people building personal homepages again.
