TL;DR: I’m excited about recent developments with the Small Web project. It’s all coming together 
***
The way I approach what I’m building with the Small Web is quite intuitive. I’ve been making things with computers since I was seven years old so it’s not work or a profession for me – it’s just something I’ve always done. And with what I’m building now – which is likely what I’ll be working on for the rest of my life – I’m giving myself the room to let the project breathe. If some foundational piece I need is not quite there yet, I’m OK spending a few years working on a different part of the project. It’s not easy to do financially to keep something like this going for six years now but I don’t know any other way to let it be what it can be.
And it is starting to pay off.
Just read an exciting announcement lower in the stack that means lots of extra work for me but will drastically improve the ease of getting started and the decentralisation properties of the Small Web. And another development that has taken a few years to come about independently (although this time prodded by yours truly) will mean Small Web places require zero admin.
Also, because of these developments – and with Laura’s help in brainstorming this morning – I believe we finally have the names of the three components just right.
Look forward to hearing lots of details about all this in the coming days and months.
Since the changes I need to make are tied to the timeline of a third party, this means the Kitten hosting service and the peer-to-peer personal social web app written in Kitten (both of which now have their final names, which I’ll announce properly later) will launch in 2026.
Just a quick update to let you know where we are with the Small Web project.
