Does anyone know if there was a particular term that emerged for describing the 2D detailed smiley that made up the #indieweb of the mid-90s to mid-00s?
I remember crawling sites in that time admiring all the love people put into them. I've been trying to find sites that archived them to build out my own site, and had very little luck with sites like GifCities.
YouTube is now recommending me a bunch of videos of people making their own cute little HTML websites, usually on Neocities or what they are calling The Indie Web and its giving me hope.
I knew this was a thing, and I knew people are still making websites like this, but it's really fun to see people encouraging people to do the same or making tutorials on YouTube.

To celebrate the first anniversary of my website, I've written a "thank you"-letter to all the bloggers of the human web:
https://kedara.eu/thank-you-for-being-you
Special thanks again to @bojidar_bg for the birthday cake.
I'm looking forward to many more years on the personal web!

I can finally say I've had a small piece of the web that's all mine for a **decade** as of today 🥳
It's a little indulgent, but I decided to mark the occasion by piecing together a rough timeline for my personal site. It ended up being quite the fun thread to pull on 😁

From Louie Mantia: “The web is so cool. Think about it. You can publish whatever, whenever. And when you do, it is instantly accessible around the globe. It’s one of the freest things. […]
Uh oh. Monocle is threatening to over whelm me this morning. I expect someone, or several someone's, has had trouble with their RSS, but I have no intention of finding out.
finally spending some time on Da Blog proper this evening #indieweb #diy #publishyourownshit
Create Day is Saturday in the hemisphere but folks from all around the globe are welcome. It's an #IndieWeb thing and this is for you if you'd like to work on your personal world wide website. https://events.indieweb.org/2025/07/indieweb-create-day-3q2PTCbGioi9

Volume twenty of Scrolls went live earlier today! It's a bit of a mini-er issue, but lots of great #indieweb stuff to be found still!

I've just posted a quick Scrap, highlighting a select few of the many interesting posts and comments I've seen this week across the #indieweb #fediverse #technology and #infosec spaces
https://fyr.io/scrap/2025-07-04
Feel free to check out some of the links, there's some darn smart people surfing these internet highways. (That's how it works, right?)
I really like personal homepages and have quite a list of them bookmarked. I'll post one every week unless I fall behind this schedule. 😉 So here's Cool Personal Homepages #CPHP Vol. 44: "The Pirate One [..]" https://thepirate.one/

💭️ Newsboat Tags | July 04, 2025 - 12:30 p.m.
Today I learned that `newsboat` catogorizes feeds based on tags which are automtically applied when you upload the `.opml` file. To view the tag list, you just hit `t`! `newsboat` just got a whole lot better!

@SaraSoueidan @joshwcomeau Oh no, I recently started paying for Codepen again 🥲 Eg. did https://yikesable.github.io/vibe/codepen-converter/
This sounds like an intriguing and #indieweb:y approach though
Hey. This is the captain speaking. This instance didn’t intend to be big like X, but this instance should be just for my hobby. Lol. With no certain future, it might last one minute, or it might not—just keep flowing. This is because, er, this server is hosted on a noob VPS, and also the other one (I subscribe to 2 in total because having only 1 overwhelms my autistic brain). You can always donate to me if you would like to contribute. Thx!
Hello, everyone! I just wrote an extensive essay about why AI is not as bad as I used to think.
Any criticism is welcome

I need some #blog software recommendations: a non-tech friend asked me to help her setup a website. I can host something for her, but I'm only familiar with Hugo and that's not going to work for her.
Her requirements are basically #WriteFreely but with image upload: a mainly text focused blog with the occasional picture. Admin with WYSIWYG, everything lightweight, minimal, clean and responsive. Comments/activitypub not required for now.
After searching (a lot) I think what may be the closest to this, is the open-source version of #Known
Do you have experience with Known, or other self-hostable software for #blogging that fits the bill? Please let me know, boosts are appreciated.
