Neocities code-a-thon: Build your own Digital Garden
Hosted by: Roos Groothuizen
To hell with boring-ass brainrot scrolling on Instagram, let’s handcode our own sites again, filled with cool pictures, funny texts and cute games. Did you know that’s really easy??
During this code-a-thon, we’ll each build our own Neocities page with HTML & CSS (and optional Javascript) and help each other out with difficult coding challenges. At the end of the night, we’ll show off our pages and create our own webring.
︎︎︎ About Neocities
Neocities is a modern revival of the early web’s GeoCities: a free, user-friendly platform for creating and hosting personal websites. It embraces the DIY spirit of the early internet, allowing users to build custom sites using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript without ads or corporate restrictions.
Its simplicity, nostalgia, and focus on creativity have made it especially popular among artists, indie developers, and those seeking an alternative to social media’s algorithmic feeds.
Recently, Neocities has gained traction as a hub for digital self-expression, retro web aesthetics, and communities prioritizing personal ownership over centralized platforms.
