I get that Olly wants to sell his web service. I also sell a web service. But I'm never going to discourage people from building their own web pages and being truly independent, if they want to explore that. I think the "IndieWeb" has gravitated toward too many layers of abstraction, and it's especially sad when we're abstracting people away from the beautiful simplicity of an HTML file on a server.

@neatnik I didn't write this to sell my web service. I wrote it because I disagree with your premise. I hold the position that getting HTML files on a web server is more complicated for non-techies than techies naturally think ✌️

@olly @neatnik I am not remotely a "techie" and I got the html for my slowly coming together webpage onto a host in literal minutes with no complications.

I'll thank you to not assume all we non-"techies" can't follow simple instructions.
