Make a $10 bet on where Weird will be in a year from now, and we will do our very best not to disappoint. Every paying customer is also an automatic stakeholder in the Weird indie enterprise.

Our v0.3 mvp is finally done after a year of development and many more spent pondering cozy community design.

Today it’s a minimalistic personal site generator. Before long it’ll be a social network made of people’s personal websites.

Nerdy web weirdos unite ✊❤️‍🔥

    It reads like what an LLM would spit out if you told it to create a kickstarter page for your MySpace clone, and instructed it to weave in some sort of paid subscription tier.

    I get I strong feeling of scam from this.

    I read the front page and have no idea what this is supposed to be, other than some reincarnation of geocities perhaps? There’s some vague and unintelligible rambling about digital soul pods and whatnot; but it seems they want to reinvent the internet… on the internet. At least thats what I make of it.

      It looks like a platform for generating and hosting personal websites/ landing pages or whatnot that you can host under their domain. The “digital soul pods” is nonsense but there there is an actual term for what i think the creator is driving at which is Digital Gardens.

      There is actual a product just like this that already exists, though for the life of me I can’t remember the name of it. https://we-b.site/ Is one.

      Just think of what Substack or Medium are for bloggers, but for a more versatile personal page about whatever you want.

      As of today it’s basically an open alternative to linktree. Read our blog posts for more about the big picture plans.

          Linktree is a (the most?) popular personal landing page for all your social media links and such. It’s functionally like a universal bio you can link to in the bios of all your different social media apps, and it contains links back to them.

          There are existing free open source self hostable alternatives like Linkstack which I use. I’m assuming OPs project is something similar.
