An idea I'm playing with: A tool that lets you build a basic HTML page, and shows you how to host it for free.

#PersonalWebsite #indieweb #OpenWeb

Home | A simple page builder app.

Design your own personal page and find tools to host it for free.

This might not really address the biggest obstacles to people hosting their own personal websites (https://stefanbohacek.online/@stefan/112089576884146559), but I'm hoping it will help and inspire some of the less tech-savvy folks.

Why don't you have a personal website? #website #PersonalWebsite #indieweb #poll [ ] I do! [ ] Too expensive [ ] Too complicated [ ] Nothing to put there [ ] Don't have the time [ ] Not interested [ ] Something else?

@stefan It's cool, I think the biggest obstacle to making the independent web significant again is getting "regular people" to participate. It's definitely something I want to explore in the future as well.
That said, it's pretty cool how more than half of the respondents to that poll have a personal website! This result can only happen on fedi, that's for sure, haha

@johnny Thank you!

And yes, we're definitely in a geekier, nerdier side of the internet!
