The small web

Most of the web now is a handful of very large sites. The small web is everything else: a page one person made, kept up because they wanted to, and never meant to grow.

This catalog is a way in. Working notes left public, a photographer's one picture a day, an actor's site untouched since the 2000s, a man and his toasters.

The button lands on one of them at a time. Six are listed below, so you can see what is meant by small.

Six to start with

• Andy Matuschak gardenWorking notes left public and openly admitted to be strange enough that the author wrote an explainer just for visitors.
• Hundred Rabbits gardenThe logbook and wiki of two artists who live on a small sailboat, covering repairs, passages, off-grid cooking and the tiny tools and games they make.
• The Daily Nice gardenPhotographer Jason Evans puts up one picture a day of something that made him happy, and the site shows that one picture and very little else.
• Everything Site gardenDesigner Elliott Cost's personal site, a numbered log of every project, post and passing thought, down to a hex colour for his current energy level.
• Tim Holman gardenPersonal site of an engineer who builds small web toys - musical, optical and pointless ones - with a catalogue of experiments and talks.
• Toaster Central time capsuleOne person's collection of working toasters from the 1920s onward, photographed and described in complete seriousness.
