  • Neocities is a reboot of Geocities. The entire site is Open Source.

    I have an empty placeholder site there https://bmann.neocities.org/

    As I [found out](Sep 30th, 2020), Neocities experiments with IPFS: you can enable IPFS archiving, and they blogged about it in 2015.

  • From the about page:

    • Our goal: to enable you to harness the creativity, beauty, and power of creating your own web site. To rebuild the web we lost to automation and monotony, and make it fun again.
    • Neocities is:
      • Helping the web. We are here to empower people to develop independent, creative sites.
      • Free. We will always have a free web site option.
      • Open source. Neocities believes in open source, and we share code back with the community.
      • Not an advertising company. We’ll never put ads or watermarks on sites, and we don’t sell your data to marketers.
      • Anti lock-in. Easy site downloading, and support for custom domains.
      • Sustainable. We want to grow, but that growth cannot risk the site (or compromise our principles).
