Very good write up. Fun site about tobacco holders as well

tldr: What would a smallweb-style "code viewer" look like? What kind of theme and UI elements should it have? Here's my attempt: https://repos.tuckerm.us/ui-experiments/branches/main/demo/

While self-hostable git forges like Forgejo are really cool, I also think they're overkill for most use cases. When I just want to put some side projects up on the web, I don't need an issue tracker or a discussion forum. I know you can disable those features in Forgejo, but what if I just didn't have those features at all? And therefore didn't need much of a backend server?

I recently realized that most of what I want in a git repo viewer can be done with just static HTML files. I started working on that as an 11ty static site generator plugin.

It's very very hacky right now, but it works as a proof of concept. I'm improving it now. If people end up using it, I'm hoping that they customize it to fit the style of their existing personal site. But I want it to come with a default theme so that it can be used right out of the box.

I was playing around with an idea for a look and feel here: https://repos.tuckerm.us/ui-experiments/branches/main/demo/

At first I was using the stock Bootstrap UI components, which are practical and professional. But then I decided that this smallweb repo viewer should have a look and feel that matches the ethos of the project itself: personal, not corporate, and open to being expressive. And not just trying look like Github with no backend.

The current, Bootstrap-styled pages are here, and that is also the repository for the project itself. But I'd love to make it more unique that that.

Does anyone have any input for a look and feel for this project? I'm open to anything. A color palette you like, a basic layout, or general ideas.

I just stumbled upon the resume site of a web designer/developer named Corey Tegeler and just immediately liked something about it. It's simple, in two columns on desktop and one column on mobile, and has a nice use of a monospaced font. The background subtly changes color over time.

WHAT IS THIS?

It's my status page where I plunk down random thoughts.

From their site:

Web 1.0 Hosting - is an advanced static hosting with some predefined most necessary ready-made scripts, a smallweb project that makes it possible to access static websites from old devices such as retro computers, old operating systems, palmtops, and cellular phones as part of an initiative to save the old web and support the smallweb movement. Hosting of modern websites and the use of modern technologies are also permitted. There is also a search engine, web mail and web chat, working on both modern and legacy systems.

Not sure what to think here since this has a very neocities vibe. WHOIS says the IP is from Helsinki. It mentions abiding by EU regulations. A lot of russian language posts on the forum they've got.

Weird/small/indie web homepages that are 10 KB or less.

It took nearly five years into the internet’s life before anyone made a concerted effort to archive it. Much of our earliest online activity has disappeared.

for all the bits that didn't make it onto the highlight reel
