🔗 What is the Small Web?
The Small Web is for people (not startups, enterprises, or governments). It is also made by people and small, independent organisations (not startups, enterprises, or governments).
On the Small Web, you (and only you) own and control your own home (or homes).This is exactly what motivates me to work and build Tanzawa. The world needs a smaller web focused on people. The Small Tech principles are also bang on. -
🔗 The small web is beautiful
However, it’s not just about raw size, but about an “ethos of small”. It’s caring about the users of your site: that your pages download fast, are easy to read, have interesting content, and don’t load scads of JavaScript for Google or Facebook’s trackers.
Ben really hit the nail on the head with this one. The small web really lines up with my goals for Tanzawa – maybe this desire to return to a smaller, more independent web is part of a larger trend? -
🔗 A Teenager Has Remade Myspace and Everyone Is Loving It
Coded entirely by 18-year-old An, 'SpaceHey' harnesses nostalgia and a distaste for modern social media to bring the Old Internet back from the dead.
Happy to see SpaceHey getting more users. I don't use it, but the world needs more social places online where you aren't you're free to customize it to your heart's content. -
🔗 Cook: Companies like Facebook don’t deserve praise, “they deserve reform”
Technology does not need vast troves of personal data, stitched together across dozens of websites and apps, in order to succeed. Advertising existed and thrived for decades without it.
From Tim Cook’s remarks last week at Computers, Privacy & Data Protection 2021 conference. All I can say is: A-fucking-men. macOS may annoy me sometimes, but there’s no other company I’d trust with my location and health data. -
🔗 Robin Rendle › Newsletters
Yet websites are treated as these embarrassing, ugly, ad-riddled things, whilst newsletters have established some kind of prestige for themselves somehow.
I saw this article about newsletters and how people like them more than websites despite the web having all these pretty fonts and layout capabilities.That misses the point. Good writing is good writing irrespective of fonts and typography.Newsletters are usually read via a mail client. This means those articles already use beautiful (licensed) system fonts. They’re already downloaded onto your system so they load instantly. They’re hand curated by yourself. They’re in your inbox. No infinite scrolling or comments or faff.People like newsletters more than the web because they don’t use RSS and mail clients stopped including RSS readers.
