In the illusion of getting myself off the big grid of the internet comes giggi.me.
Inspired by ideas about how the internet really works, giggi.me is a tiny step towards how I'd like the internet could work like.
Such as many other phenomena in nature, we seem to recognise that the way the internet grows isn't, in a moral, psychological and maybe social sense, fair.
Little nodes struggle to be reachable at all, their only hope not to drown in the ocean is hooking up some bigger ship that will carry them around.
The fight for survival of many little nodes turns those ships into full size cruise vessels and the experience of browsing the internet begins to resemble crossing Main Street in Disneyland.
Since human beings have managed to get this far by governing some aspects of their natural habitat, I hope that you will stick around on your own raft.
giggi.me is shamelessly naive.

At the moment if you clone down [tod](git clone "https://www.giggi.me/gerrit/tod"), you will get what I have put in there already, which is a code review tool and a static blog.
What you can do, is to add more modules. Tod is modular and flexible, you can flip on and off apps that are relevant for your purposes.
