Bonus: Historical Text File Archive

↗ T E X T F I L E S

On the face of things, we seem to be merely talking about text-based files, containing only the letters of the English Alphabet (and the occasional punctuation mark). What this site offers is a glimpse into the history of writers and artists bound by the 128 characters that the American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) allowed them.

I’m working on creating a dedicated post/page to list as many Indie Web & Small Web Website Directories that I can find. So I’ll keep this post updated over the coming weeks by adding the existing bookmarks I have, and any other new directories I can find.

Probably pin it to the top of the blog index, and then likely convert it to a Page.
