Last year I started another version for Mo(vies): https://namogenmo.github.io/ I wanted to keep the anything-goes spirit, so “movie” is defined really loosely. Anyone is free to join me, there’s still time this month!

I run a similar project: https://apse.io It runs locally on your laptop/desktop, so you don’t need a server to host anything. Also, it can index everything you do, not just web content. It works really well for me!

I’ve been building essentially that, but more than just websites: https://apse.io . I am really pleased with how it works - just released v2.0!

I've been working on APSE[0], which does something similar. Everything's stored locally, so you'll never lose your archive. [0] https://apse.io
