The small web is not nostalgia. It is a choice. It is a position. It is resistance to noise. When you are your own editor, designer, censor, publisher. When you make a website that no one asked for, and you made it anyway — because there is no other way.
hell yeah
amazing issue, @downgrade !!!
thank you all very much for the warm reviews, I am pleased, and I am glad that I did not disappoint
I plan to make the next issue from subscribers’ articles.
so: if you have material that you don’t mind sharing (your material), send it to me by email (indicated on the site)
some news from the bakery )))))
the third author took on the article, at the moment there are already two ready, and they are really nifty. I really hope that the issue will be released earlier, it all depends on how quickly I collect good interesting articles from subscribers.
if you have an interesting article (yours), and you want to publish it - contact me by mail (on the site) or write in the guestbook
write in the guestbook what you would like to read in the new issue

Hello everyone.
4 out of 5 (minimum for the release) articles are ready
I hope that soon the author will appear, and the issue will be published
Do you have any interesting material? Share it, the anniversary issue needs it
Issue 10 is finally out!
Make yourself comfortable and enjoy the anniversary issue! ;-)
Oh how exciting! Thanks for bringing this one together, it was a great read! I’ve been mostly ignorant of the history behind the GIF format and J2ME, and I really liked the photography website highlight. Also, I’m not Italian, but I did grow up in a very conservative rural south in the US, and there is apparently a lot of overlap. This line in particular got me pretty good:
“Chatting with the family means thousands of messages about the weather, health, politics, and photos of someone holding a baby with something burning in the background.”
…although in my case they’d also be holding a beer.
In the next, eleventh issue, the editors decided to dedicate the magazine to women of the Internet. This will be a special issue in which we will tell about those who contributed to the development of the World Wide Web and the small web - about those who designed, wrote, coded, fought, created. About those who did the design, thought about the structure, filled the network with voices and meanings, influenced politics, culture and technology. About those who remain in the shadows, although without them there would be nothing.
We want to tell about legendary figures, and about modern enthusiasts, and, perhaps, about you. If you have a story, a site, a project, or you know someone who is worth mentioning, be sure to write to us. We will be happy to publish links, stories, and your thoughts. Let’s show together that the history of the Internet is not only about servers and protocols, but also about people. And women have played and play a huge role in it.
I ask you not to be indifferent, dear ladies, leave links to your sites, and a short story about yourself, or a description of your hobbies. I will be sincerely grateful for your contribution
Handle OpAbort from DPI CCC server side by rodarima · Pull Request #424 · dillo-browser/dillo · GitHub Dillo developers read our magazine
Ha, nice! Though I am not surprised, because Dillo does seem to be very tied to smallweb ideals. I’m glad they’re seeing active development right now; we really, really need alternative web engines that are not built by corporate interests.
I’m excited for this, I can’t wait to read it!
Hello everyone again. Because I decided to take a short break at the end of summer, and then suddenly fell ill with coronavirus for 2 weeks, the issue is taking so long. But that’s not the only reason. The 11th issue will be completely written by a new editor, a woman for women about women, that was the strategy)) there will be no interviews, I was refused, two were planned, but later, in view of the conclusions, we abandoned this idea. The issue will be completely autobiographical, it will tell about the formation of the computer age through the eyes of women who took a direct part in the development of computer technology, industry, design, and the formation of the Internet (the modern Internet).
I hope you will appreciate the new editor, she has already written articles for previous issues, this time the whole issue will be from her
I will be in touch again.
The issue will be released in a week
Have a nice day everyone
Still reading through but I LOVE the theme of this issue and the photos are so powerful!
This is my first great find here @ the 32bitcafe.
I like your magazine, art style and writings. You got yourself a new regular reader here.
Thanks for contributing 
I hope you like the next issue too
Nowadays a “gopher” is someone who programs in Go. Kind of annoying, really. But the idea that we’re now the underground is appealing.
As for the entries: yay, ASCII art. I used to be quite interested. And yeah! There was a long-running Angband comic, too. But it would have been nice to explain ANSI art in more detail as well. Maybe next time?
But no, other colors aren’t any better standardized. That’s why color profiles exist and have to be managed. And don’t get me started on how there’s a difference between colors created by light emission (e.g. from a monitor) and light absorbtion (by ink on paper).
By the way, HTML originally defined maroon as 50% red, back when there were only 16 named colors, and nowadays brown is defined too, as that #a52a2a you mentioned. That’s also a dark red, only softer. No, you’re still not going to see a consistent shade unless you enable color profile management for all your devices.
Beautiful essay about scribbles. <3 And hey, my first site was on Geocities!
I’m so glad my writing is entertaining you. It’s a really nice feeling that someone needs it, and it’s interesting.
I love it when people check facts. This time, it was especially fun for me to write articles because I enjoy studying the design of that era.
As for your suggestions, that’s possible. I’ll keep them in my notes. It’s a very good topic, by the way.
I can only imagine, I only just started this, and I’ve already started the 13th issue. Time flies, damn…
