weirdos.

Weird is a brand new thing, but: Think of it as if WordPress and
Notion had a Linktree-shaped baby. That is to say, a WordPress-type
website engine with the editing experience of Notion and the
simplicity of Linktree.

Say hello, again, to the weird web

Village-scale software [?]

Like itch.io, but for any Open Web project

Like a distributed Wikipedia for projects

Like the internet archive for - you guessed it - projects 

A social network for your thoughts

An ecosystem for living ideas 

Essentials

  * Digital homeownership: Every profile on Weird-net is also a
    website; use our (sub)domain or bring your own.

  * 2-minute site creation: Escape the content-creation imperativeby
    grabbing whatever self-links you've got and re-consolidate your
    digital identity.

  * Reclaim your captured content: Automated pipelines for PESOS &
    POSSE posting strategies. Write (or at least post) like Molly
    White and Cory Doctorow!

  * Grow web gardens: Forget about chronological web logs, we're
    doing digital gardening now. Casually plop your tiny blurb-seeds
    down and cultivate them at your leisure.

  * Enter the indieverse: Connect to the WWWapps Directory weird#283,
    outside the dreary confines of big tech. Coming soon

  * Find the others: Participate in the chatty community gardens of
    federated webrings. Coming soon

just like milk and honey...

Weird is a combination of two things that go together

Magic Website Creator

To fully inhabit the World Wide Web you need to create your digital
self within it.

For a lot of us, the "simple" prospect of filling in that web page
with content presents an insurmountable writer's block.

That's why we start with link lists as a primitive building block.
Make a list of 1, 3 or however many links that say something,
anything, about you.

Whatever you've listed, you've done it! You told us something about
your self, and with that you are taking up a bit of space on the web,
as you should.



Web Passports

Weird is the "Google-login" button of the alt-web. A web of the
people, powered by people's websites instead of those pesky
totalitarian mega-platforms.

By making - or merely connecting - your website with Weird you will
soon be able to access and interact with the small, open and indie
web just as easily as the regular web works today. Same conveniences,
without the dark patterns, spying and data theft.
