Smallweb Finds: Stardew Valley Wiki
The Stardew Valley wiki is the best looking Mediawiki I’ve ever come across. Mediawiki is the software that runs Wikipedia so it’s impressive how good it can look with a little effort.

Small Web Alternatives
I started moving back to the small web in 2025 as part of whole-of-life shift in the way I interact with technology and the online world. For me, this mostly involves moving away from social media platforms and big, corporate tech companies. And that meant rediscovering alternatives to what I had started to become dependent on, that is, subscription services, mainly, such as YouTube, Spotify, X/Twitter, etc. My goal has been to recreate those in a more human-centric way on the small web. This will be a living post that will serve to document how I went about that.
