The web does not need every project to become a startup. Some of its most valuable work comes from people building a tool, experiment, or collection simply because they wanted it to exist.
Small means focused
A small project can make a clear promise: check a site, play a game, learn a word, or explore an idea. That focus makes the experience easier to understand and easier to improve.
Experiments create culture
Unusual interfaces and personal publishing give the web its character. They make room for playful ideas that would be filtered out by a generic product roadmap.
Build for a real person
Whether you are publishing a static site or a tiny utility, start with a real use case. Make the first interaction obvious, keep the page fast, and give visitors a reason to come back.
