Yeah its pretty cool. Its not just another free static web hosting but a place to find quirky bits of art and creativity unlike Git* pages which is just blogs and project pages.
- derefr 8y agoThere's nothing stopping you from putting "quirky bits of art and creativity" on a Git-host+static-site-generator site. Given that most of the Git-host web-apps have editing interfaces, there's not even a barrier to entry. IMHO, it's mostly just that "you can freely host a static website on the same services programmers use to freely host source code" isn't a well-known thing outside of the programming community. GitHub/GitLab/etc. should do some outreach at the digital-art/interactive-media departments of universities.
- baroffoos 8y agoThe big big difference is discovery. Neocites has an explore page that shows you all of these mostly pointless personal pages and js games which often link internally to other neocities pages so you end up with a bubble resembling the old web rather than other static hosts that have websites that are just another blog in the modern commercialized internet.
