How to apply a low-tech approach when designing for the web? A list of guiding principles to think a web in a "gentler" future, within planetary limits.


Images of a small talk I gave during the #GentlerFuturesFestival organised by "ByTheEndOfMay in Lisbon, PT. I discussed some “Principles for designing a low-tech Web”, pointing to Lowtech Magazine solar-powered website, EtherPad and the etherbox project at Constant vzw, Noah Veltman, etc. in the form of web slides, locally hosted on my raspberryPi.

The Principles:

  • offline
  • self-hosted
  • physical = tangible
  • solar-powered
  • low energy
  • static
  • simple
  • lightweight
  • incovenient = not smart
