Some of you may have heard of the Small Web. Essentially websites like System 7 Today who exist as a labor of love with no commerical interest. Much like in the 90's and early 2000s. And you may have heard of Kagi, the payment service that once upon a time had set out to make it easy for Mac shareware authors to earn their fees.

Well, looks like Kagi is now invested in the new Small Web movement and is working on their own solutions. It's an interesting concept:

The article itself is really worth reading with it's general reflexions on the web and what is perceived as gone wrong since the 90s. There's also good links to other articles on this topic, recommend it!

Quote from: Kagi
The driving question behind this initiative was simple yet profound: the web is made of millions of humans, so where are they? Why do they get overshadowed in traditional search engines, and how can we remedy this?

...

But we also recognize that the “small web” is the lifeblood of the internet, and the web we are fighting for. Those who contribute to it have already taken their own leaps of faith, often taking time and effort to create, without the assurance of an audience

Its the 's" in https that makes this all - a labor of futility.

I never understood the use of "securing" plain text sites with publicly available knowledge.
