This is awesome! I remember I asked about doing something like this on the Yesterweb forum before it shut down and you were one of the repliers that helped make clear that Github was the way to do it! I was planning on doing this with a group of friends of mine but its becoming a bit more of a small art group on Discord, yet I still dream of creating a collaborative website down the line. One of the main reasons I wanted to make it with friends instead of a community was that it could be insulated and just for fun, yet, I'm finding out that their interest in escaping social media, albeit open-minded and agreeing of its superficiality, may be squandered by IRL matters like jobs and school. Guess thats just how online communities work, yet I made it a main point to make it a "long-term" project, something to just do every once in a while.
I was imagining and kinda loving the idea that the outcome would be chaotic and shitpost-like in terms of the webpages created on a collaborative website. I thought it would be neat to have a "throw-up page" where its a designated page to have everyone just go nuts like a 3-year old with crayola crayons. Of course this works with a small group but with a community that may grow?? I have shivers already.
I guess one could equate that idea of a big community to the r/place project.
But maybe it could be like the buddha board but digitally? It could possibly erase everything automatically after a certain amount of time. Which now that I'm brainstorming it could be a event or something planned ahead. One could plan that this upcoming "throw-up" page will have a theme, well then I guess its not a "throw-up page" at that point but maybe a mediation and collaborative space lol.
Here are some websites that arent collaborative (i dont think?) but seem to represent what I envision:
mollysoda.exposed/
wwwwwwwww.jodi.org/
www.cameronsworld.net/
Some of these websites are from artists that fall under the Internet Art label which I love cus its all about subverting the conventions and using it to spread a message of some sort or to experiment. It seems to have innate parallel beliefs with indie web doctrines now that I think about it. Very anti-corporate lol :3.
ANYWAY
I'm gonna try and make sure I come back to this :-). My github account name is: abacus-wizard.
