====== omg.lol ======

[[https://home.omg.lol/|omg.lol]] — a small, indie internet services bundle created by [[https://adam.omg.lol/|Adam Newbold]] ([[https://neatnik.net/|NeatNik]]). **$20/year.** No venture capital, no dark patterns, no growth hacking, no pivot risk.

===== Services Included =====

===== Why It Feels Different =====

* Small by design — not scaling to a billion users
  * No VC funding, no acquisition target, no "liquidity event"
  * [[https://home.omg.lol/info/sponsorships|Sponsorships available]] for people who can't afford it
  * Business model: you pay $20/year, you get services — that's it

The comparison table that matters:

===== /now Pages =====

Based on [[https://nownownow.com/about|Derek Sivers' philosophy]] (2015): one URL answering "what are you focused on right now?" A public declaration of priorities, easy to share and update. omg.lol can remind you to update it periodically.

Over 2,300 people worldwide maintain /now pages. See [[indieweb:web1_aesthetics|Web 1.0 Aesthetics — Slash Pages]] for the broader slash pages movement.

===== status.lol and twtxt =====

status.lol updates automatically sync to your social.lol Mastodon account. For syncing to twtxt, see [[indieweb:status_lol_twtxt|Syncing status.lol to twtxt]].

===== source.tube =====

Announced November 2025. Forgejo-based (open-source Gitea fork). Hosted on Hetzner European infrastructure — not AWS. 500MB storage. Included in the $20/year membership.

Useful as a mirror for projects you want hosted outside Microsoft-owned GitHub, particularly if concerned about training data usage.

===== Community =====

The omg.lol community is anchored on social.lol (Mastodon), the IRC server, and discourse.lol. See [[indieweb:community|Community]] for broader IndieWeb community spaces.
