Comment on What is the Small Web?

I’m not sure I understand the overall goal of this project. If it’s only serving a single user, why put it online in the first place? It sounds like what they’re specifically trying to offer via kitten and domain is a portfolio site, but it feels like they’re hiding that fact behind a lot of language about how they’re taking a stand against the “big web”. I’m obviously all for federated services over centralized ones, but this just seems to wear loftier goals than what it’s actually capable of. And if it is a portfolio site, then they should have spent a lot more time talking about discoverability, the obvious issue with small independent portfolio sites whose inherent goal is to get seen by others.
