Yes

Yea... Hacker News wouldn't get it.

I resubmitted this because this deserves praise. Incredibly well done, yo.

I think, a little ironically ofc, opening yourself up like that ends up capping how personal you can (are willing to) get. Not always a bad thing, but I believe the modern internet is missing a lot of soul that comes from being vulnerable. Lord knows social media personalities and corporate brands will never do it.

Hugo has gotten easier recently to get up and running. Seems to come prepackaged with a simple, workable "template" when you create a new site. :)

lol, upvote for the name, fam. XD

Why not? Diversity of sites is great.

Eyyyyy. My personal site currently runs on Doks! Check it out: https://foreverliketh.is/ Also, @henk-verlinde, I'm not on the showcase :^(

omg.lol (https://home.omg.lol/) has not been mentioned. You get quite a few nice bonuses from it (like community!) for a very reasonable, imo, $20USD a year. At least give it a look my friend!

The #1 Webring List on the Internet (by Ray "brisray" Thomas): https://brisray.com/web/webring-list.htm

They are coming back. No, they will never be as prominent as search engines, despite how crappy they've (Google in particular) has gotten. You wanna find personal websites? It's not hard you just gotta put in a little effort: https://foreverliketh.is/blog/exploring-the-personal-web/

A lot of those collectives are even curated, like the one made by a Hacker News user recently: https://dm.hn/

This isn't just to OP, it's to the rest of you as well: The Personal Web has never been more dead. But also perhaps never as alive. If you care at all about it, you'd take part, contribute and connect.

no

I wrote an article regarding both webrings & collectives. Consider checking it out- https://foreverliketh.is/blog/exploring-the-personal-web/

Plenty would argue it's been dead for awhile, since even before AI. [1] I refuse to concede though, it's as dead as you let it be. In both the places you passively consume from, and actively participate in. [2]

In my opinion, in a “perfect world”, a site could be navigated in any way the visitor wishes.

~ Thematically (by Category) ~ ideally in the manner / order the webmasters considers most valuable / important.

~ Via Sitemap ~

~ With search ~ And good search, mind you. Ideally, having indexed every word on the site.

~ Through sorting ~ via date, via last modified, via page title, etc.

~ By tags & “contributors” ~

Those are the ways that come to mind, and I believe are most common. Each with their own pros and cons. But if you have them all, I guess the cons don’t really matter. Obviously, that is quite difficult and certainly asking too much of (some) hobbyist web developers.

I organize my content thematically (by category). I acknowledge that it makes it difficult for the visitor to find what they’re looking for; to easily reach the things that interest them. But I see my site as art. I will organize it in a manner that best reflects that art. Dear visitor, finding the things you are looking for is important, but so is finding the things you are not.

I take great pleasure in navigating personal web pages. I can only go through so many in a day; I try my best to dedicate the time necessary to have felt that I properly explored another’s invested time and effort, their world, their message. Perhaps there is some value in encouraging people to take the time to slow down, in addition to improving navigation.

To anyone that perhaps find themselves consumed in this conundrum: your site is probably more important than its navigation, don’t let this stop or delay you from making it. Time is so valuable.

Reminds me of this precious gift to the world:
