James_Gallaghe: No, according to what I've read so far about the small web, I think both terms refer to exactly the same.

I’m not a fan of Aral’s “small web” project if only because he’s basically trying to reinvent things that a LOT of us have been talking about for well over a decade now, and it feels like he’s trying to stake a claim over the idea of (gasp!) owning your own website. Plus, his insistence on a specific tech stack and a specific way to do things is very offputting.

On the Small Web conversation… I think there is much more overlap between Small Web and IndieWeb than Aral recognizes. When he says:

updates to that Aral's Small Web (and, oh, dear): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24269830 "[...] Small Web is not about having your own Static Web page or having yet another tool for geeks. [...] I’m trying to build a tool for developers (including us) so that we can use it to build everything things for everyday people [...]" So... he's now trying to reinvent ActivityPub and it's ecosystem?

All these phrases depend on the context. Small is a terrible choice of word for the Aral meaning: he's small means strictly indipendent websites. For others, like that essay, the small web is means those websites that had basically fallen of Google - either buried too deep, on page X (X > 10), or literally not indexed any more, because there was no update for a decade. (Not that there's anything to update on, say, the welsh slate indus

the interesting bit is that what Aral's Small Web described should be called non-profit web; the small web the essay from Parimal describes is oldschool (?) web, and the two are very different thoughts.

but then I'd say that penmorfa example is just an indie web site (tbc not IndieWeb), not small web, so obviously we're back to "different people use these terms differently" 😄

I'd say things like subreddits and FB groups are seeking a similar solution, but it feels like a common trend in groups that consider themselves part of the "small web" is that ability to only be reached by those that know the way, so the discovery/reach of silos like FB/Reddit automatically makes them feel too available
