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

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.
