We're on a mission to save the web
The internet used to be fun and weird. We had IRC, Usenet, blogs and personal websites.
People wrote things, people drew things, people shared things they'd made or seen and they did all this on their own websites.
We're bringing that back, without AI crawlers and billionaires ruining all the fun.
Time is running out. The web is being destroyed from within by companies harvesting the creative work of others.
We're working on a collection of tools for you.
The first will launch soon and will guide you through making your own basic homepage without any programming at all.
After that, we have many more things planned. Here are some of our ideas and plans.
- Chat to other people without Discord!
- Made a CD or a DVD? Sell it via our dedicated CD and DVD buying site.
- Made something else? Sell things on your own online store!
- Collaborate with other people on files and documents.
- Your own personal file storage.
- Dedicated spaces for artists and for authors.
- Got more files to share? Put your home computer on the internet!
- Newsgroups. Real ones plus our own special ones.
- A dedicated place for all your cgibin scripts.
- Works on your phone, tablet or full computer.
- Start a blog or read other people's blogs.
But we'll want to hear from you. We're building this for you.
A commitment to ordinary web users
Building things for the web since 1993, we've been running Libre.fm since 2009 for over 380,000 users.
No investors, no shareholders. We just want to make things better again.
We plan to charge a small fee (around $10-20) each month.
If you want it, you can also get an account to the legacy Libre.fm site, now no longer offered to the public when you sign up for a paid account.
PayPal donations taken here for now
We'll block the bad guys before they steal your work
Increasingly so-called AI companies are scraping every page they can, so they can train their systems to rip off your work and pass it off as their own.
We think this is unjustifiable, so we're doing something about it.
If you already have an active Libre.fm account, you're already signed up. You'll get access first.
If you missed the 14+ year registration window for Libre.fm, you can join the waitlist (aka my personal newsletter).
