Simon Carstensen has rebuilt Jottit, the web publishing tool he built with Aaron Swartz in 2007:

Aaron believed the web should be easy enough that anyone could participate. Not just people who know how to code or who can afford a platform’s cut.

@manton That’s really awesome! For years, before I bought my own domain, Jottit was my home page.

@manton Nice find. I assume it will be ephemeral in the long run (free hosting isn’t all that sustainable) but I would love to be wrong & to see the web get back to its artisanal roots.

@manton Doesn’t Micro.blog essentially do this already? And with Micro.one anyone can afford to have a blog page and be on the internet
