tiny sites

your subdomain, you.bimb.ooo, is a small website. how it behaves depends on what you publish.

if you already own a domain, you can point that here as well and the site answers at both addresses. the one you were given never goes away. there is a page on it in a name of your own.

a homepage

publish a public page at index.html (or index for markdown) and it becomes the front door. visiting you.bimb.ooo shows it.

a listing

with no homepage, bimbooo shows a tidy list of everything you left public, newest first. mark a thing public to have it appear, or keep it unlisted to leave it off.

nothing yet

with nothing public and no homepage, a visitor gets a friendly note that there is nothing here yet.

your own 404

publish a public page at 404.html (or 404) and it answers for anything that cannot be found on your site.

styles and files

a small site is just a few things at friendly paths: an index.html, a style.css, an about. link them together and you have a page that is yours, with no build step.

if the site already lives in a folder on your computer, "a few at once" on your desk takes the whole folder: drop it in and every file lands at its own path, css/site.css included. publishing has the limits.

a feed of your public things

your site comes with a feed at /feed.xml, so people can follow you in a reader instead of remembering to come back. it lists the public things you have put up, newest first, with a line of each to say what it is. unlisted links, drafts and read-once notes stay out of it, as they stay out of everything.

you do not have to turn it on and there is nothing to configure. if you would rather write your own, publish something at feed.xml and yours wins; we only answer there when you have not.
