Derick's tinyweb

A personal search engine, built for the slow web.

TinyWeb is about taking back the internet. No algorithms, no ads, no tracking. Just human-curated pages shared freely across a mesh network.

This instance shares its index publicly. Subscribe to join the network.

your data

Everything is stored locally under ~/.tinyweb/:

Back up ~/.tinyweb/ periodically. Copying the whole directory to another device preserves your identity and index together. The export page gives you a JSON dump of pages only — it does not preserve your identity or subscription state, so it is a migration aid, not a substitute for a full backup.

what is the slow web?

The slow web is a movement for intentionality over speed, human curation over algorithmic feeds, privacy over surveillance, and community over corporations. Every page in this index was saved by a person because they found it valuable — not because an algorithm told them to click.
