My goal with NeoCities is to help bring back the creativity and free expression to the world wide web that made it great. I need your help.
- -- I am tired of living in an online world where people are isolated from each other in - boring, spied-on gated communities, and are given generic templates which define what people are - supposed to know about each other. It's time we took back our personalities from these sterilized, lifeless, - monetized, monitored entities and let our creativity flourish again. -
- -- That's where NeoCities comes in. I want to provide a canvas for people to make any web site they want. - Whether it be a web site about something they're good at, something they love, something they hate, or - their own custom "Profile" where they can introduce themselves in a way that actually matters to them. -
-- It's a big project (to make small sites), and I have a lot of work to do. - But I can't do it without your help. -
-- The technology has become affordable enough where we can provide this creative space without requiring a business - plan that involves selling people out to the marketing industry. But it still costs money, especially since server - demand is so high right now. And there are some possible surprise costs I haven't figured out yet (bandwidth estimates are difficult). - But if NeoCities can get enough donations, NeoCities can survive! - Together, we can prevent - what happened to GeoCities from happening again. -
-- Our creativity is too important to be commercialized. Help keep this idea alive by donating! $100, $20, $5, a - free round of beers at your pub, speaking invites - (I put on a pretty good show) - so I can spread the word, free server hosting, anything helps. Thank you! -
