Friendly reminder that Wix.com is an Israeli-based company (& some website builders to look into instead)

I know the BDS movement is not targeting Wix.com specifically (see here for the companies they're currently boycotting) but since Wix originated in Israel as early as 2006, it would be best to drop them as soon as you can.

And while you're at it, you should leave DeviantArt too, since that company is owned by Wix. I deleted my DA account about a year ago not just because of their generative AI debacle but also because of their affiliation with their parent company. And just last month, DA has since shown their SUPPORT for Israel in the middle of Israel actively genociding the Palestinian people 😬

Anyway, I used to use Wix and I stopped using it around the same time that I left DA, but I never closed my Wix account until now. What WAS nice about Wix was how easy it was to build a site with nothing but a drag-and-drop system without any need to code.

So if you're using Wix for your portfolio, your school projects, or for anything else, then where can you go?

Here are some recommendations that you can look into for website builders that you can start for FREE and are NOT tied to a big, corporate entity (below the cut) 👇👇

Carrd.co

This is what I used to build my link hub and my portfolio, so I have the most experience with this platform.

It's highly customizable with a drag-and-drop arrangement system, but it's not as open-ended as Wix. Still though, it's easy to grasp & set up without requiring any coding knowledge. The most "coding" you may ever have to deal with is markdown formatting (carrd provides an on-screen cheatsheet whenever you're editing text!) and section breaks (which is used to define headers, footers, individual pages, sections of a page, etc.) which are EXTREMELY useful.

There's limits to using this site builder for free (max of 2 websites & a max of 100 elements per site), but even then you can get a lot of mileage out of carrd.

mmm.page

This is a VERY funny & charming website builder. The drag-and-drop system is just as open-ended as Wix, but it encourages you to get messy. Hell, you can make it just as messy as the early internet days, except the way you can arrange elements & images allows for more room for creativity.

Straw.page

This is an extremely simple website builder that you can start from scratch, except it's made to be accessible from your phone. As such, the controls are limited and intentionally simple, but I can see this being a decent website builder to start with if all you have is your phone. The other options above are also accessible from your phone, but this one is by far one of the the simplest website builders available.

Hotglue.me

This is also a very simple & rudimentary website builder that allows you to make a webpage from scratch, except it's not as easy to use on a mobile phone.

At a glance, its features are not as robust or easy to pick up like the previous options, but you can still create objects with a simple double click and drag them around, add text, and insert images or embeds.

Mind you, this launched in the 2010s and has likely stayed that way ever since, which means that it may not have support for mobile phone displays, so whether or not you wanna try your hand at building something on there is completely up to you!

Sadgrl's Layout Editor

sadgrl.online is where I gathered most of these no-code site builders! I highly recommend looking through the webmaster links for more website-building info.

This simple site builder is for use on Neocities, which is a website hosting service that you can start using for free. This is the closest thing to building a site that resembles the early internet days, but the sites you can make are also responsive to mobile devices! This can be a good place to start if this kind of thing is your jam and you have little to no coding experience.

Although I will say, even if it sounds daunting at first, learning how to code in HTML and CSS is one of the most liberating experiences that anyone can have, even if you don't come from a website scripting background. It's like cooking a meal for yourself. So if you want to take that route, then I encourage to you at least try it!

Most of these website builders I reviewed were largely done at a glance, so I'm certainly missing out on how deep they can go.

Oh, and of course as always, Free Palestine 🇵🇸

IndieSeas - an indie web search engine

This website was created by a talented friend of mine, Poyo (https://poy.ooo/). You're able to search through thousands of indexed sites using the main search function, discover a random new personal site through the random button, and browse through 'The Gallery™' which is home to thousands of 88x31 buttons belonging to members indexed. You can sort buttons by colour, and individually search for buttons using the text search option. It's a great project and I highly recommend you check it out

[cassidycastle]

So basically just put your business and ads in the

I’m working on a website for my game where it’s gonna be full of ads since the fandom wants it to be free so I’m gonna comply… btw I’m looking for ads or promotions to feature there. If you have a business, YouTube channel, or social media profile you’d like to share, let me know! I’m interested in connecting and helping promote different creators and projects. Just looking for cool ads to add to the site. I’m not gonna tell you which game but it’s indie

i am burnt out with programming at work. i want to do something actually immediately helpful. side project time

are there any apps/websites that do something that seems like it would be (somewhat) straightforward for someone with coding experience to make, BUT suck to actually use in practice because the site is paywalled/predatory/steals data etc?

or something that doesn't currently exist but similarly could be achievable by one person with enough time?

the more specific and esoteric the better, i have no profit motive here so if it helps even 1 person i'm down

if possible please rb for larger sample size!

June Check-In

I am finally home! gots lots of feelings about it, but it can be TLDR'd into a happy 5min scream of glee and relief.

Obviously, because of the move, things were pretty busy IRL, especially during the last days/weeks. I'm not completely done with it, but it won't be as frantic (mainly waiting to hear back on things). Hopefully by the middle of the summer, all the boxes will be checked!

Let's get into this:

Recap of May

The Plan for June

Update on 2025's progress

TLDR: NEW WEBSITE YALL! and a plan for June.

What I've been up to in May?

Not much in terms of releases. Actually nothing at all. Didn't even managed to push some bug fixes for Harcourt. But!

MY WEBSITE IS UP TO DATE, YALL!

A fresh new version (v3*!), going in a completely different direction from the previous iteration. At the same time, it's very much a continuation of what I imagined the website would be. *3 is actually my fav number. I think it was meant to be that the best version of this website would be on version 3....

Anyway... LOOK AT THIS BEAUTY!!!

I'm so so freaking happy with how it turned out. Reorganising the sections and giving everything a lot more personality is making be excited about this place. And it's allowing me to grow it however and wherever I want (branching out to different medium?).

AND LOOK AT THE BUTTONS <333333 Returning to the old web vibes is just everything I needed, ngl.

So yeah, go through my little computer/website. There are tons of pages with different interfaces (there will be more soon!).

Fair warning: it is absolutely not mobile friendly. Anything smaller than 1200x768 will give some some weird results. Also use Firefox to view it.

I still have a huge To-Do list of things and polish to do (incl. mobile), but at least all the info from v2 has been moved to v3, and what was missing (games/assets/etc...) has been added (if not a full page, it is mentioned somewhere).

Neo-Interactives and other Events

May is REALLY BAD IF (Tumblr) month, between the end of the previous and next cycle of competitions, where people are tasked to make the absolute worst IF game possible. Normally it's just the month of may, but... I announced it late everywhere, and I didn't manage to put my entry in time, so... it's extended until the end of June!

I forgot at the end to officially announce the 2025 Showcase. Gotta put myself a reminder to do that.

Also announced in May (though it only just started), The Summer of Translations (Tumblr)! Because I honestly needed accountability buddies to ensure I actually upload a new translation every week (which will happen every Sunday!).

Keep an eye on @ifcomp for announcements, too. I'm still handling Social Media this year, and we're slowly getting ready to open the new edition of the Comp.

And finally, Neo-Twiny Jam is coming back, again a fundraiser (we got a few donors already!). We're hopping to break all the records again, so consider participating for a good cause (or share, that helps tons) !! Check @neointeractives and @neo-twiny-jam for announcements and entries :) And I'll be restarting @manonamora-if-reviews with my comments on the entries!

Translations Project

Nothing is out before June, but I manage to create a little bit of a buffer for myself (a couple of games buffer) in case things get busy IRL for a few weeks and whatnot. Which makes me pretty happy! Now... having received pages long of pointing out mistakes from MelS... But he said I'm getting better!

And... that's all folks :P The website took most of my very little free time this month.

~

The PLANtm for June

Al-right-y, let's make a list!

Harcourt: pushing the fixes ASAP (and pray there won't be any new bugs) and nag MelS for the missing Codex pages.

Summer of Translations: upload 5 translated works (incl. new releases) <- one less to do because Collision is done!

Website: chip away at the To-Do list (I'm making moar buttons)

RBIF: fix the bug and upload the entry

NTJ: try to at least make one entry (potentially with Anti-Romance and Nouvim, two birds one stone) - I have 3 ideas already, just need to make them happen.

Reviews: Neo-Twiny here we come!

Not so much of a plan, more of what to expect this month, which... won't be much. Because the thing is: I'm moving at the end of the month. So between packing, selling, cancelling stuff here, and unpacking, opening, and probably buying things there, my IRL To-Do is arm-length at this point. It's both super stressful and a huge relief. I picked such a good time to come back, lol.

~

Updates on 2025's progress

Is... void. lol. Which means I'm sticking to the plan!

I haven't submitted to any event so far (outside of Showcases for stuff already out! and the Translation project, but those don't count)

No new events organised either! (aside from the Translation one, but that's for keeping me accountable, so it doesn't count either)

I've done some fixes for a previously released game (Harcourt, it's just not pushed yet - I got sent a couple of more typos to fix)

The website is up-to-date!

Depending on how things go in June, I might have a more concrete plan for the rest of the year in my mid-year check-in. As in: picking a WIP and finish it in those next 6 months.

still salty that a random tech startup bought a beloved tumblrina playlist maker from inevitable shutdown, failed to relaunch the site, left it abandoned for years only relaunch it as their own thing at the corpse of a website/brand they have bought
