I really like both neocities and nekoweb, I think they both have a lot going for them.. but it genuinely makes me so sad that nekoweb only allows donations through patreon which since I don't use it means I can never have more than one website with them.. but their dashboard and folder layout is sooo much better and I find having the little site boxes a lot of fun. I do however notice there's a lot more flashing images and other such things just blatantly out in the open with no warning [including in site boxes] than on neocities.
Neocities definitely has waayy more people, and there's a lot of charm, and I find that accessibility is pretty good on the site exploration side of things, but sites are obviously hit or miss depending on the person..
They're both definitely great and fun web hosting sites though and I'm glad to be on both and be a part of the communities there. I hope I can learn more and share my website, my art, and help people think about the intersection of disability pride and accessibility. My hope for the future is to have sites that can have unique and friendly experiences for disabled people, and making stuff with different kinds of disabled people in mind.
Anyway!! little preview of my website! I last was working on trying to get some reduced motion preferred stuff working, and adding alt text and figuring out some more accessibility stuff. (❁´◡`❁)💖✨
if anyone has opinions on readability of the light mode I'd appreciate it! I'm trying to make things look aesthetically pleasing but still be readable. Light modes are really hard on my eyes and give me migraines so I can't be sure how well it works as I can only look at it for brief periods 🥲
But yeah, I've been having a lot of fun with webdev stuff and working on my site! but I don't know how much I'll work on it for a bit cause I'm really tired.
mild vent below related and unrelated vvvvvvv

I've been having a lot of fun working on my website! I hope to get all of the main pages figured out soon, but I'm like 90% done with my main page and will be pushing I think maybe.. 2 updates to finish it??
I'll be in the next couple hours updating it, and then will update it a final time once it's finished!! Hopefully that second update will have my OC/Story page added as well!!

I would totally love if you could check out my site!
Currently using neocities [since nekoweb only allows donations through patreon I can't use it :/ since I host multiple sites]so here's the neocities profile for the website too!
Hi I'm Rot, and I'm disabled and fully unable to work. My entire income is based off of however much people are willing to donate.. or if I'm able to do commissions or sell my OOAK keychains on ko-fi.. things like that.
the past few years I've only been able to make around 800-900usd a year in income... and that includes donations. I think I made maybe only... $90 total in non-donation income last year?? so as you can imagine I'm kind of desperate because I'm in severe need of adult braces, and my gas money for doctors appointments tends to eat all of my money I get so I haven't been able to save up for anything at all.
so uh.. yeah!
If you're interested, I'd love if you could check out my ko-fi & Vgen! If you're unable to support me, it'd mean a ton if you could share my posts on places like tumblr and bsky to help get eyes on my work.
Here's some of my keychains :)) They're up on ko-fi since I can't afford a proper online store.
and you can check out my art and what not on here as well as my vgen or other social media!
Thank you so so much for looking at this journal <3 have a great day.
