You can use mouse to navigate. Thanks for the feedback though, I've added support for movement with arrow keys if no tile is selected.


Cloudflare, rate limiting, and other limits.


I'm using JS-Interpreter project: https://github.com/NeilFraser/JS-Interpreter . It's slow, but easy to add and work with.


I'm actually an admin of that site, and I learned JavaScript by creating scripts for it (which eventually led me to becoming admin there).


well it'd wouldnt feel very special if everyone had big cursors


It was the small, standard 24px Windows 7 cursor. I was just put off by how I immediately ran into a paid feature within 2 minutes of signing up.


well that means it wouldnt fit even if you were a paid user...


just FTP


you've only found like at most a half ;) also its not just a random comment in code, you can get it to show on page if you find the way


It was supposed to be released in 2022 and then 2023 but kept getting frozen


oh hi, people keep recognizing me in random places lol


really appreciate the work you put into oldtweetdeck :)


It is pretty similar to Neocities. A little bit of differences are: - you can style your site box for discovery page - no limit for file types

and some paid plan differences: - ftp support - up to 5 custom domains - cheaper (you can get 1 custom domain for $1 or 5 and all perks for $3 vs neocities' $5)


This is pretty cool! If I may suggest something, on the explore view, avoid showing most popular (I think it can lead to rote behavior!)

If I may suggest another algorithm, something like picking from most popular to least with probability ~1/(rank+k)^p, where p is any number >1, for example set p=1.5, k=10.

It can be implemented the following way (by computing the integral of the probability distribution):

(1) Have sorted index by popularity with n items

(2) Pick a random (double) r between 0 and 1

(3) The chosen index is (if I did my integrals right;round to nearest integer):

i = ( k^(p-1)*(n-1+k)^(p-1) / ( (r+1)*(n-1+k)^(p-1) - r*k^(p-1) ) ) ^ 1/(p-1) - k


Correction: I've got the integral wrong, of course :)

I've got an expression (after correcting my rusty maths) of

i = k*(n-1+k) / ( (1-r)*(n-1+k)^(p-1) + r*k^(p-1) ) ^ (1/(p-1)) - k

I think there could be precision problems (with p<2 specially)


sorry im too dumb to comprehend this math


No worries :P It's just a way to try to avoid showing the most popular, instead you'd choose randomly from a curve from most popular to least popular, with the chosen index given by i. An easier idea to understand is to pick randomly from the top say 50 websites instead of just showing the most popular ones, avoiding "winner takes all" effects.


That’s a good idea!


A few questions/suggestions, if I may:

Would really appreciate more documentation (there's also very little documentation on Neocities!), on things like whether (and if yes, how) clean URLs are supported.

From the "donate" page, what exactly do "Endless bandwidth" and "Twice as smaller rate limits" mean? I can't seem to find documentation of the limits for the free tier, so it's difficult to determine what "Twice as smaller" means.

As there are already quite a few services offering free static web hosting, it seems to me what places like Nekoweb and Neocities have to offer is a sense of community and ways for like-minded people to find each other - and in that respect, I've been frustrated with some of Neocities' limitations (like the limit of 5 tags) and apparent lack of interest in developing further. Do you think you'll implement things like a tag cloud, to help people find each other?

And finally, is Nekoweb open source, or will it be?


Tangible related, but are you hosting your website on both Neocities and Nekoweb or just one of them? Because I see your profile both places.


neither lol, they're both redirects to my server
