jekyll-admin VS neocities

Netlify CMS is nice, and despite the name it works completely independenly of using Netlify as the host: https://www.netlifycms.org/docs/intro/ I won't lie though it is very akward to setup and use if you aren't using Netlify--documentation is extremely thin, and it's a beta phase feature to selfhost. But it is a really nice and simple editor view that non-technical people could use. This is where the (very thin) documentation for it starts: https://www.netlifycms.org/docs/beta-features/#working-with-...

Another good one is Jekyll Admin: https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll-admin It's not as nice as wordpress but gets the job done for a basic markdown focused site. Selfhosting it is a lot easier and more documented than Netlify CMS.

You may really enjoy Neocities [0] it is full if websites that you explore.

Thriving creative community. Neocities

I'm surprised no-one's mentioned neocities (https://neocities.org/). It's open source (https://github.com/neocities).

Compare the copy on the landing pages and it’s pretty obvious

If you are curious to find more interesting stuff, start here: – https://mojeek.com/ search engine with own index, totally different results - https://wiby.me/ another search engine, but "old school" kind of web sites. It does not mean that site cannot be new, but it just looks and feels like old school web pages. Funny way is use that "surprise me..." link there to find something - https://peelopaalu.neocities.org/ loooooots of interesting and random strange links to dig deeper on internet than just the sugar coated google-friendly web (aka. ad-friendly commercial web) - https://neocities.org/ the web page where is lots of sites hosted as somebody else already shared this as well there on comments - https://koshka.love/links.html Koshka's web page and its links to find more random stuff. There are interesting opinion texts on his site as well.

Neocities has taken steps to try to improve small personal web site discoverability, which ends up being like a platform for people making web sites with a hybrid social component https://neocities.org

I like the idea of calling this the small web, I usually go with something like "personal web site" or "home pages" but it's never quite stuck for me. I hope they've added Neocities to the Kagi small web search because there's some pretty incredible sites available for that: https://neocities.org/browse

Similar to neocities, but novel choice to allow the user to upload file(s) as part of the sign up process.

If you'd like some free web space to try it out, I highly recommend Neocities, which provides static reliable website hosting (should say I don't work for them they just happen to be my web host and have been very good).
