This site is a love letter to the internet I grew up dreaming about - the messy, handmade, maximalist web of the late 90s and 2000s. Back when a homepage was actually someone's home: blinking GIFs, questionable colour palettes, guestbooks, webrings, and pages that felt like walking into a stranger's bedroom and finding them excited to show you their stuff.
Communities like Neocities and SpaceHey keep that spirit alive! Instead of optimised feeds engineered to keep you scrolling, they're little plots of land where people build weird, sincere things by hand. Places that link to each other's stuff, where people actually talk. No algorithm is behind it deciding what you see. No engagement metrics deciding stuff for you, blinding your judgment and keeping you from actually connecting with others.
Today's internet feels paradoxically lonely for how connected it claims to be. There's five apps and all are basically the same; infinite content, stories, FOMO and somehow fewer real conversations. The old web wasn't perfect, but it had a sense of place - you *visited* people, you didn't just scroll past them. This site is my small attempt to bring a bit of that back: a corner of the web that's all mine, that's simple and intentionally weird, and that you're welcome to wander through.
This website was put together by me as a personal portfolio and creative space. Many thanks to the following creators and resources that helped make this site possible:
