cowsites @cowsites.net · 31/07/2026the old web can feel super intimidating to get into. i knew nothing about it before i got involved with it properly, but LOVED the idea of bringing back personal websites, a less like-driven social sphere and the ability to actually be offline - this is all so much easier with a #cowsites site ;) 161

cowsites @cowsites.net · 18/07/2026the modern attention span (thanks, social media) is crazy - i’m victim to it too - which is why our newsletter about the old web is a bit longer, wordy and places a lot of value on the indie web and how you can get involved. revolt against the 7 second attention span newsletter.cowsite.net #oldwebnewsletter.cowsite.net 041
