I came across [Neocities](https://neocities.org) many months ago, and got really excited by the premise: a free web host with the mission to bring back the *"fun, creativity and independence that made the web great."* I spent a while scrolling through the [gallery](https://neocities.org/browse) of personal sites and was amazed by both the nostalgic vibes and the creativity on display. It's like a portal back to when the web was fun. Neocities seemed like something I wanted to be a part of, so I signed up for an account... and soon realized that I didn't *really* want to go back to crafting artisinal HTML by hand like I did in the early '00s. I didn't see an easy way to leverage my preferred static site generator[^lazy] so I filed it away and moved on.
[^lazy]: Also I'm kind of lazy, and not actually much of a web design person anyway.

Until yesterday, when I saw [Sophie](https://social.lol/@sophie)'s post, [How I deploy my Eleventy site to Neocities](https://localghost.dev/blog/how-i-deploy-my-eleventy-site-to-neocities/). I hadn't realized that Neocities had an [API](https://neocities.org/api), or that there was a [deploy-to-neocities](https://github.com/bcomnes/deploy-to-neocities) GitHub Action which uses that API to push content to Neocities. With that new-to-me information, I thought I'd give Neocities another try - a real one this time.

I'd been hosting this site on Netlify's free plan [for a couple of year](/hello-hugo/) and haven't really had any problems. But I saw Neocities as a better vision of the internet, and I wanted to be a part of that[^passion]. So last night I signed up for the $5/month [Neocities Supporter](https://neocities.org/supporter) plan, which comes with support for custom domains and more bandwidth than even a paid Netlify plan.
