Welcome to Jewitch

I have made a dozen blog projects over the years. I have never really been happy with any of the platforms that I have hosted on with the exception perhaps of Ghost. But then I got turned on to the Indie web. Through this I learned about minimalist blogging through Markdown. It was around this time I stumbled on to OMG.lol a fabulous little website and community founded by Adam Newbold. This gentleman crafted a suite of different services that really brought me back to the Halcyon Days of the Internet. Back when Forums were king, and IRC and IM's were the communication style of choice.

I know that may not be for everyone, but for someone such as myself who has become immensely disenchanted with not only the state of internet discourse, but the social media landscape as a whole and how toxic and vile it has been globally, it was a breath of fresh air. So I began dabbling with the various services. Then I learned that Adam was making Neato and I was fully converted. I had been using BearBlog.dev and Pika.Page but if I could stay in the ecosystem Adam was building I would be much happier. Thus I signed up for the waiting list. And I waited. Patiently. But I would be lying if I said I didn't want to scream out:

HURRY PLEASE! THE INTERNET NEEDS THIS!!!

Then one day I checked the site and noticed a rough Alpha was up and we moved closer to full deployment. Now this is still in its alpha phase, but Adam put the code up and I said to hell with waiting, I would early adopt and when Neato fully launches I will move this all over there. So here we are. It is an early alpha, but here we are. And I couldn't be more excited for whats to come. A simple site/blog environment. No ads being pushed. Nothing being sold to you. Just a place for you and I to come together and ideas and thoughts to be shared.

I am excited, and I hope you are too! If you haven't gone to Neato.Pub already, the link is above. Go drop your email into the notification section so when the service goes out of Alpha you can be notified. Join a movemeent for simplicity and authenticity and shed the toxic shackles of Silicon Valleys Rage Machine.
