for the past few years, i'm sure many of you have read my many lamentations about the death of the old, small web many of us grew up with.
there are tons of static site generators out there, but none of them did what i wanted: something that could build an entire site without futzing with javascript and library dependencies. i wanted something that we would have had in 2005, but didn't have in 2025.
in january, i decided to do something about it instead of whining. i started gluing together a few php scripts i had been using to build blogs, rss feeds and mini homepages. i even wrote a new mini markup language.
i thought it would take me a week. it took >3 months. 😅
it ran for the past month as globaltalk.network's interactive site, and many of you asked if i'd ever let other people spin up an instance. i can finally say: yes!
today, kiki is officially finished and released for public use. named after my little black house demon, it's small, fast, and sometimes well behaved. and, it's all written in php without a single external dependency. just unzip and go.
it's released as shareware - in the oldest, finest, jankiest meaning of the word: you're free to goof around with and share the unregistered version. build your own little kiki instance, and customize the heck out of it until it feels like your own little home in the world wide web:

nice project 😀
I would like to chime in with a similar thing but built without PHP.

Lately, I have been thinking about #linux and @frameworkcomputer
It will be nice to move away from the USA tech giants. Having never really used Linux, I wonder if it will be love at first sight.
I've been using Linux for the last 5 years, today I completely got rid of my Windows partition on this device as well.
Now I don't have any devices that have it installed
@joel That is promising. I already am using multiplatform apps and services so for me it's not completely out of the question for me.
Have you written your thoughts about Framework... Would love to read it.

@Radical_EgoCom as much as I would love to get my hands dirty, violence will only lead to more violence. Trump wants people to get violent with law enforcement so he can point his finger and say: "See?! I told you these were violent criminals! "
Then BOOM! Martial law! Emergency action by the orange house takes full effect, the military is in the streets rounding up everyone.
Peaceful protests are working. Participating during economic blackouts (4/18,4/19,4/20) is working.
You're fucking delusional if you think that Trump’s waiting for people to be violent to use more violence. So far he's been increasing the amount of direct violence against people with no sign of him stopping the increase, and this is with all of the peaceful protests. The peaceful aren't working. Trump’s just arresting and deporting the peaceful protesters. Fucking wake up and realize we need to actually fight.
