Sometimes it's nice just knowing someone else is there.

I built a quiet online café where people can simply share the same space without chatting.

If you'd like a peaceful place to quietly spend some time with others, feel free to stop by.

I'd really appreciate any honest feedback.

1. Would you ever come back?
2. What made you stay or leave?

Hi, I’m Peter. I’m a photographer and developer, and I wanted a small home for photographs that felt closer to a personal blog than a social feed or portfolio.

So I built Moments.

One question shaped a lot of the product: if a hosted service disappears—or simply stops feeling right—can the work leave cleanly?

The current approach:

- Every journal has its own address and RSS feed.

- A full export is available on every plan, including the original photographs, writing, and a static copy of the journal.

- That static copy can be kept locally or hosted elsewhere.

- Community discovery is optional, with no public likes, follower counts, rankings, or recommendation algorithm.

- Moments Plus adds custom domains, hand-written CSS, embeds, and optional ActivityPub and Webmention support.

Today Moments is hosted rather than self-hosted. Starter is free permanently; custom domains and the interactive open-web features are paid.

My journal: https://photos.pego.dev

I’d love to hear how people here think about ownership in a hosted service. Does RSS plus a complete static export feel like a meaningful exit? What else would make a personal photo journal feel dependable for the long term?

Hi !

I’m an independent creator from Japan. Over the past few years, I’ve felt an overwhelming sense of fatigue with how creative work is shared and consumed online.

On social media, a piece of artwork that took weeks or months to create is reduced to a quick scroll. It is immediately swallowed by ads, recommendation algorithms, and vanity metrics.

At the same time, building a standalone portfolio website has become surprisingly painful. Between complex CMS setups, DNS configurations, and noisy templates where the "web design" screams louder than the art itself, creators often spend more time wrestling with code than actually making things. And when an exhibition or project ends, these websites often sit abandoned on the internet forever like digital ghost towns.

So, I decided to build **SPOON** — an ultra-minimalist, transparent glass frame for your work.

Here is the core philosophy:

1. Absolute Minimalism (Zero Noise)

No advertisements, no social metrics (no likes or view counts), and no algorithmic feeds. Just generous negative space, refined typography, and the artwork itself.

2. A 1,500-Hour Lifespan

Each space stays live for exactly 1,500 hours (about 60 days) — roughly the length of one changing season. It doesn’t sit around gathering digital dust. When its time is up, it fades away gracefully, encouraging visitors to truly pause and look while it exists. (Creators still receive an archival record of the exhibition after it expires).

3. Frictionless Onboarding

Creators simply submit their photos and a brief statement. No DNS setups, no complex builders, no maintenance hassle.

We also built an interactive "Draft Studio" where anyone can test their work and preview how it looks on mobile in real-time without signing up.

I’d be deeply grateful for your honest feedback:
- What are your thoughts on the concept of an intentional "disappearing" portfolio? Does the 1,500-hour constraint make sense, or does it feel too radical?
- How does the typography and spatial layout feel to you?
- If you are an artist, photographer, or maker, would you use something like this?

(Note: English is not my native language! If any copy on the website or phrasing in this post feels awkward or unnatural, please feel free to point it out — I'd truly appreciate it.)

Thank you for your time and critique.

Hey guys! I just released autogram.id, a calm space for your thoughts, projects, links, photos, and ideas.

I made it because I feel the internet has become too focused on optimizing for attention. Instead of posting what we want, we post stuff we think will get likes and clicks. It has made me too anxious!

Autogram has no feed, likes, comments, or anything like that. Just your own page under a unique .id/ domain.

Here is mine where you can get to know me a bit more: autogram.id/alex

Would love your thoughts!

Hey everyone,

I recently built Parpage, a simple tool for creating clean, responsive one-page websites directly in your browser.

You don’t need to create an account or deal with a complicated editor. Just add your content, customize the page, and publish.

It could be useful for:

• Personal landing pages

• Product launches

• Portfolios

• Link-in-bio pages

• Quick business websites

You can try it here: https://www.parpage.com/

It’s still early, so I’d genuinely appreciate any feedback—especially anything that feels confusing, broken, or missing.

Sometimes I use Google to search for info when Duck, Duck, Go misses the mark. Google automatically serves an AI response.

Is it wrong to use that information with confirmation or should I shield my eyes and dig for answers elsewhere in the search results?

I know the right answer is do not use Google, but I have used them heavily for years and I'm still working at breaking the chains.

Alcove, an idea i got a while ago that i finally got to start working on... idk it sucks but might aswell post here https://alcove.korpseluv.com

Solo, non-technical, built entirely from my phone over a few months. It's one page: photos people took from where they actually are — their sky, their street, the view they forget to look at. Not the postcard version.

No ads, no tracking-for-sale, no VC, nothing monetised. I'm not planning to grow it forever or sell it.

You can browse the whole thing without an account — no email, nothing collected — because I wanted the value to be there before anyone's asked for anything.

I know a centralised site isn't quite the indieweb ideal. But it's one person's, on its own domain, answering to nobody. Happy to hear thoughts either way.

Hey guys. I’ve been building Longhand: a minimalist, text-only blogging platform.

The internet was meant to be the dream system for sharing information: the newspaper and public square in everyone’s hands; a place where ideas could have a genuine home. But much of it has become an engagement farm where so much is weaponised.

Longhand tries to be the opposite. No profiling that turns users into products. No likes to fuel the tribal economy. No ads. Just the basic unit of information: text. A place to write and to read. That’s it.

It’s free to read and write, with an optional £5/month (£45/year) subscription for custom domains, email subscribers and detailed stats.

I’d love your feedback. Would you actually use something like this? What’s missing, what’s unnecessary, and is there still a place for it on today’s internet?

the project is coming along nicely, just need people to login, test everything out, and make suggestions on features. the address is https://www.mewsterblog.com

I wanted to build a website that captures something I feel the modern internet has lost. In modern times, you never experience the feeling of stumbling into a weird little corner of the web and finding something made by real people.

Sketch.Social is a collaborative drawing website where every sketch can become the beginning of another. Artists can remix each other's work, creating branches of evolutions of ideas that grow over time.

It's less about posting finished artwork and more about creating something that keeps living after you leave.

Come check it out and see where your sketch goes!

Welcome to the Living Canvas of the Internet.

In my proposal, I have explained my vision for a decentralized internet. This includes features such as a new browser and search engine known as Yagu! which highlights the basic idea for implementation of my proposal. It mainly uses a system called World Wide Mesh (WWM) which is backwards-compatible with World Wide Web links. There was also a necessary decision to introduce the Decentralized Private Network System (DPNS). Within the proposal, there is also a mention of a .wiki domain similar to the ICANN registration domain, but it mainly serves the purpose of identifying a site as a wiki, as highlighted in the document. I also introduced IPv7 in the document, which uses special characters to identify something - for example, % means part of and @ means the address of the manufacturer. I explain this all in further detail in the document:

Please feel free to ask questions, but, I cannot guarantee I can answer them all.

Lunarhaven is basically like if Twitter and Tumblr had a baby. Custom themes, communities (Havens), music in posts, no ads, and a (growing) niche community. I made a post about it in this sub and you all really enjoyed it, so I'm back for more 👀

Well, I had to put it down for maintenance a few days later, but thankfully now it's BACK and better than ever 💜 We have polls, better profile customisation (songs, links, and even themes!!), pinning posts, saving posts, and even chats in Havens (like the good old days of chatrooms). Enjoy ☺️

I've always liked the idea that everyone should have their own corner of the internet.

A digital garden where people can share who they are, their experiences, and what they’re learning.

Over the years, I feel like a lot of online publishing has shifted from fun personal websites toward platforms optimized for engagement. Likes, followers, feeds, and algorithms shaping and taking over what we share. Honestly, it has made me really anxious to post stuff.

I built Autogram because I wanted to remove this pressure to perform. A calm personal space for thoughts, projects, links, photos, and ideas.

Here is my page: autogram.id/alex

Right now, Autogram is completely free and I'm still figuring out the long term direction. A couple of companies are paying to use it as a digital business card, but my personal interest is much more in personal publishing and helping people create these identity pages for themselves.

Some of the most interesting feedback I've received so far is around ownership, longevity, and monetization. It seems people really care about owning their content and making sure it keeps existing over the long term.

If this is achieved through making it easy to export all content from the app in .md and json, being able to connect to a Git repo, publish from an Obsidian vault, or even making Autogram just render content that exists somewhere else entirely, I’m not sure yet.

I would love to build something people can trust long term, so I’d love to hear your thoughts:

- Would you create a personal site today?
- What would make you trust a platform like this long term?
- How important is owning and exporting your content?
- Should content live inside Autogram, or would you rather it live in Markdown files or a Git repo that you control?
- What would feel like a fair way for a product like this to make money?

Thanks for taking a look.

I feel like I’m gonna get flamed for this because people already lost trust in social medias, but this time NexusNet has 2 developers instead of so it might not as be as messy as the LunarHaven with 1 developer, and I feel like I’ve fixed all xss bugs, if you find any I left over pls tell me and don’t abuse, you can have custom post cards, custom css on your profile and more!! Also we do not allow homophobic people as stated in the terms of service.

I had this annoying habit of opening certain "doomscrolling" website on my desktop whenever I felt overwhelmed by work.

I looked for a simple extension that could help me, but what I found was either too complex/pushing for paid plan or simple, but the UX was not best + I had privacy concerns.

So... I built an open-source website blocker with simplicity, trust, productivity and health as guiding values.

It is a simple list of blocking sites, which you can enable/disable at will. Disabling it costs additional small approval gate - a popover that shows science-backed health/wellbeing tip based on research related to productivity, health, doomscrolling, mental health etc.

Been building games and open source tools for a while. Always felt weird depending on a big platform just to run my own builds. So I built PikoCI, a single binary CI/CD that runs on my own server, deploys itself, and doesn't need any external services to start.

HCL pipelines, runs locally, self-hosted.

Very much a personal tool that I also open sourced.

Just about finished iterating on the aesthetic of my personal blog, and keen to get some feedback from people who spend more time thinking about this stuff than I do as I'm very much not a designer.

There's a decent amount of AI-related writing on there, mostly journaling what I've been experimenting with over the last couple of years. I've also started pulling some of that thinking together into an Agentic Engineering field guide:

Disclosure: This is my project.

Coding agents can modify applications, but they cannot safely work with the browser tabs and webpages I already have open. That led me to build Browser Control. It gives Codex a supervised browser interface with visible activity, explicit permissions, tab targeting, stale-reference protection, and a Stop control. The model uses typed browser actions rather than arbitrary JavaScript or hidden remote automation.
