  I don’t like bloat or AI/LLMs and I focus more on minimalism to reduce surface attack areas while still focusing on security. There’s nothing flashy about how I plan to approach this project. It’s going to look ugly.

  My main focus is to help create communication for local communities and not create tech that enables control over other peoples freedom.

  I highly doubt my project will ever leave my community and that’s fine, I’m not interested in making a name in an already crowded space.

    What are you building for your community? I think smaller communities is really the spot where this hobby can have a greater impact in enabling people to collaborate in different ways.

      The end goal at the moment is to have the script setup a minimal environment that would host a forum. That way people can organize themselves based on local community needs.

      My current and more manageable goal is to create a script to setup a minimal environment for a basic blog. At the very least someone can make posts for their community or themselves. Once I have that baseline, then I’d work towards the larger goal if that’s still how I feel after getting there.

      I’m also interested in exploring different ways to be able to share local community servers/sites. It may look ugly, and may add slight inconveniences but it would be nice to have alternatives to big tech offerings. I’m leaning towards a small web concept. A focus on local communities helping themselves and neighbouring communities.
