Neocities Coding Night -- 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??

Every month, we get together at .zip to work on our personal sites with HTML, CSS and Javascript. When we get stuck on difficult coding challenges, we have each other to help out. At the end of the night, we’ll show off our pages, and join each other’s ‘webrings’.

PS: Making a personal site on free hosting platform Neocities was the motivation to start this event series (it’s nice, you can follow each other and it has a cool online community!). But you’re welcome to work on other web projects, of course. 


Programme
Come whenever you like.

You’re welcome to bring your own food and drinks. We have a small kitchen with a stove, oven and fridge at .zip.

︎︎︎ 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.
