Based on 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 Web 1.0 Aesthetics — Slash Pages for the broader slash pages movement.
status.lol updates automatically sync to your social.lol Mastodon account. For syncing to twtxt, see Syncing status.lol to twtxt.
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.
The omg.lol community is anchored on social.lol (Mastodon), the IRC server, and discourse.lol. See Community for broader IndieWeb community spaces.
