So, I like Neocities. I think it's really great that someone out there is dedicated to providing free static HTML hosting, like the good old days.

You know what I don't like? Neocities' garbage HTML editor. It's an iframe in-browser, and it has none of the advantages that writing HTML in an actual IDE would have. Plus, it can kinda break if you refresh the page, and sometimes things revert, and--

It's a mess, is what I'm saying. Their entire backend GUI is kind of a mess. If you want to edit an HTML file in an actual IDE, you'd have to download the file, edit it, and re-upload it. Plus, it makes it kind of hard to keep a local backup of your site, you'd have to redownload the site every time you change something. And actually sending in the files via FTP is a no-go, since you have to pay $5 a month for that, and you want to use the service for free.

Well, what can you do? Use the CLI, that's what!

But Chaia! I don't like using the command line. I wanna use a GUI. I don't wanna type "neocities push /" every time I change something!

That's fine. If you can stomach using the CLI for ten minutes, then you'll have all the benefits of it without having to use it ever again!



I may work on a future video on this topic, talking about chokepoint capitalism, surveillance, and switching costs, but for now, all I'll say is that Musk buying Twitter just highlights the problem with centralized social media platforms providing chokepoints for surveillance and discourse that can be shaped by wealthy individuals however they want. We should go back to forums, chatrooms, and personal websites. And to that end, here's a bunch of links to help anyone interested in personal websites get started!
