IndieWeb
r/INDIEWEB is for people making, exploring, and taking ownership of their corner of the internet. We celebrate personal websites, forums, wikis, directories, web-rings, self-hosting, archiving, open source, privacy, De-googling, coding, indie software, and weird or artsy web projects. Think handmade HTML, experimental sites, and itch.io energy not generic corporate webdesign or endless promotion. Make things, learn, share, preserve, and keep the web independent.
