<h1>I just found out about the IndieWeb</h1>
<p>Im learning a lot about the IndieWeb, or the personal web or
wherever terminology you like best. To get quick examples of what it can
be, check out Marginalias site explorer. im also finding out about
webrings and webmentions which sound very cool, i might implement the
latter here some day im not too lazy.</p>

<p>This idea of a smol web, I was already kinda part of it without
knowing. Thats because I was exposed to gemini a few years ago and I
loved it. I made a capsule and a website. To stay consistent with the
idea of simplicity that i liked, I build the website from the gemtext
files I wrote for Gemini using a tool I wrote myself. Im not saying
that for bragging purposes but because the specs for gemtext are very
easy to understand and parse. I wouldnt have done the same for
markdown, then I would just use the wonderful pandoc</p>
<p>but the IndieWeb is very diverse, there are people like me that stay
close to something very simplistic, minimalist even; and others are just
living their best 1990s life. Some people love GIFs, fancy fonts and
colorful page with an animated image as a background and others prefer
their pages less… Loaded. A very big advantage of a movement like the
IndieWeb over something like gemini is how personal you can make it,
there is a customizability that is just not available with Gemini (its
on purpose that Gemini doesnt do that).</p>
<p>Theres a lot to love about Gemini and theres a lot not to love too.
The barrier to entry is too high for someone that is not a tech
enthusiast. My family will sooner find how to host a website than a
gemini capsule. I wont add much to this discussion but i will link some
articles i found interesting</p>
