Hello there! I'm Anne-Laure Le Cunff, founder of Ness Labs and a PhD researcher at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience, King's College London, where I study how different brains learn differently. I created this public notebook / digital garden because I believe the only way to learn in public is to build in public. This is a public notebook where I share some of my thoughts on networked thinking, creativity, metacognition, and collective intelligence. It uses bi-directional links, so you can see which pages refer to the one you are currently reading.

Build a garden, not a feed.

About the decline & revival of the personal website, and on the progress our tools have made.

searchmysite.net - the open source search engine and search as a service for user-submitted personal and independent websites. The searchmysite.net search engine is a niche search, focussing on the "indieweb" or "small web" or "digital gardens", i.e. non-commercial content, primarily personal and independent websites. If you want to research people's personal experiences of or deep-dives into certain topics, hobbies or interests, then you may find the searchmysite.net public search useful to avoid having to wade through all the marketing websites and blog spam that fill the big search engines

Remember the internet? One millennial's jaded digital nostalgia.

For a while now, I've been slowing working on a refactor of the codebase of this blog. At one point, I got caught in exciting world of performance and I wanted to make sure I had a super fast pageload. Currently, my CSS is added inline in the HTML and I found myself thinking "no one will be able to read this".

introduction If you surf the modern "small web" to any extent you've encountered 88x31 buttons - a staple of late 90s and early 2000's websites under…

This is a set of three core commitments derived from the practical experiences of the Yesterweb staff after two years of community organization. They concentrate what we have learned and how we operate into a general template that can be applied to any community at a foundational level. We propose these commitments as the basis of unity for those individuals or groups who wish to move in the same direction, while allowing a diversity of focus, interests, and missions.

The web was established with the best of intentions. The basic idea was that if everyone could share their thoughts and ideas with the world, the best ones would be vetted and float to the top. The bad ones would be ignored and pushed to the bottom.

This chain letter-esque post has been doing the rounds, and in the spirit of trying to rebuild my blogging muscle I thought what better to blog about than blogging? This post is a bit of a love letter to having your own place on the web, no matter how simple.

thoughts.page is a platform for hosting a small webpage for your thoughts. it's basically like twitter, but nobody can @ you. if you want to see what a thoughts page might look like, check out my thoughts, evy's thoughts, or the thoughts webring :) thoughts pages are an attempt at a quieter, slower, more personal internet. a little space on the web, just for you.

There’s an increasing chasm dividing the modern web. On one side, the commercial, monopolies-riddled, media-adored web. A web which has only one objective: making us click. It measures clicks, optimises clicks, generates clicks. It gathers as much information as it could about us and spams every second of our life

There's a corner of the Internet where people have been reclaiming their digital independence by hosting their own websites and promoting the idea of owning your own content—it's called the IndieWeb. This community has its own website, IRC channels, social media presence, and more, all dedicated to the idea that individuals should control their own digital presence through personal websites.

This is the home of Webspaces, a new kind of website that uses HTML to create 3D worlds in addition to 2D pages. Webspaces are made up of static HTML files - this webspace is hosted on GitHub Pages. If you want, you can fork it as a starting point for your own

You can download Small Is Beautiful #23 directly, and watch it with your favourite video player. Small Is Beautiful (Oct, 2022): What is the Small Web and why do we need it? Today, I want to introduce you to a concept – and a vision for the future of our species in the digital and networked age – that I’ve spoken about for a while but never specifically written about:

I've committed myself properly this to building my own personal platform. No fancy tech. No new tools. No distractions with the latest fad. It's taken me longer than expected. The year has been stressful. I've had lots to clean up, personally and professionally. Digitally and IRL. Merging of different places

It feels like all the cool websites from the late 2000s are gone. But maybe we are looking at this the wrong way. Maybe it is us who vanished.

Own your web persona… Break free of onerous platforms, fully control your content, and connect directly with your audience Use future-proof standard web protocols for a centralized profile with status updates and options for your audience to follow you without the middle-man.
