"The paradox of designing for the web is that the simplicity of building a website with basic tools means it can adapt to the changing technology around it."

“The web that many connected to years ago is not what new users will find today,” wrote Tim Berners-Lee, one of the inventors of the internet, on its 29th birthday. “What was once a rich selection of blogs and websites has been compressed under the powerful weight of a few dominant platforms. This concentration of power creates a new set of gatekeepers, allowing a handful of platforms to control which ideas and opinions are seen and shared.”

Manuel Moreale is launching a curated newsletter starting on January 1st named Dealgorithmed and you should subscribe!

"Dealgorithmed is a newsletter for the people who still love and care about the web, for those who are tired of doomscrolling the same three sites day after day.

A newsletter about the small web, the poetic web, the quiet web, the web many say we lost years ago, yet it's still here, ready to be rediscovered by those who care."

The inventor of the web on what the web has sadly become

"Le blogging c’était l’époque où on écrivait pour des humains, pas pour des algorithmes, où les discussions se faisaient en citant des liens et pas en crachant des réactions sous un post, et où les trolls devaient au moins se donner la peine d’héberger leur propre merde 🤘"

Chester has such a cool homepage. I love how all of his interests blend together in one page. That's kind of my goal with my website, blending my different interests into one place.

The personal site & portfolio of creative web developer Henry (from Online) is full of creative design elements. Definitely wander on his website
