Do you have an e-mail? I would strongly prefer speaking over e-mail as opposed to the Neocities global feed.

It's genuinely saddening for me to see ASM: The Page! finally go under. I discovered it long before I opened my Neocities page, and it was one of the many things that inspired me to learn HTML. Part of me always assumed that it (and Angelfire) would be around forever, so knowing that it's finally going offline is such a surreal feeling. I really will miss that page. Wherever you are now, Miewth, I salute you!

I think the main reasons for the indie web not being great at retaining users are due to a few things: 1. A majority of people does not have a personal computer, only a phone, and the indie web tends to be developed on desktop and made primarily for desktop. Know any html/css editors for mobile?
2. Updates get by very differently on the indie web. Either you need something like Neocities or you need RSS, which at this point is even more niche than the indie web. 3. Maintenance. The indie web requires you to maintain the platform of your profile, namely the actual website. And that takes time and work that many aren't used to compared to mainstream social media
