Neocities (mentioned in the article) is a pretty cool throwback site for making your own simple webpages. I used it for a coding exercise to make my own personal version of a Linktree thing.
Bear blog (link) is also simple and neat for simple un-corporate internet-ing.
Anytime dude. Your stuff rocks!
Couple random cool stuffs:
I've been using https://raindrop.io/ and it seems to work pretty well. Good for syncing between devices, reading later, etc.
Notesnook is a pretty good service. More of a less clunky Evernote. It's free by default but has paid for options and also very privacy focused.
I know what they're going for but yeah it does seem like an iffy move to sign everyone up for a main server. Unless they're letting people get settled and then emailing/encouraging them after a couple weeks/months to change instances?
Problem with that being that most people won't want to move after setting things up in the first place.
For just Safari the "Roadbock" extension seems to work pretty well.
