This is, in my opinion, the Internet's lost charm. Everything nowadays feels just like a cramped city center on the web. + +Everything from personal websites, blogs, forums and so on thrive on individuality and passion rather than likes and shares. The authenticity that these small web spaces have just gives me a big breath of fresh air. They offer a genuine glimpse into the minds and hearts of their creators, free from the pressures of algorithmic popularity. I love how creative people can be in their own, little corner of the Internet! + +I've found so many unique and cool websites! Some of these are: + +- [**WindowSwap**](https://www.window-swap.com/) +- [**ivy's garden**](https://randomivysaur.bearblog.dev/) +- [**toyos.dev**](https://toyos.dev/) +- [**~dustin**](https://tilde.town/~dustin/) +- [**Nick's neocity**](https://starrs.neocities.org/tinyspace/?e=/tinyspace/home) + +Exploring the small web is like taking a relaxed walk through a calm forest, far from the city's noise and clutter. Each website is like a pathway to new discoveries and perspectives. + +For those, like me, feeling overwhelmed by the digital version of a cramped city center, I encourage you to explore the small web instead of those mainstream platforms. I find this much more giving than doomscrolling for hours on end. + +But where do you find these websites? Good question! You can find them by just getting recommendations from your friends, which is a reason for you to have a blogroll/feedroll - [**like mine**](/logs/bookmarks). Some other places to discover these websites are: + +- [**The Forest**](https://theforest.link/) +- [**bearblog.dev**](https://bearblog.dev/) +- [**Neocities**](https://neocities.org/browse) +- The different performance-focused clubs like: + - [**1MB Club**](https://1mb.club/) + - [**512KB Club**](https://512kb.club/) + - [**1kB Club**](https://1kb.club/). + +On an ending note I think you should explore the web like you're wandering through a forest. Every click takes you somewhere new. Have fun finding your way and seeing what's around each corner of the web. \ No newline at end of file
