Why not just have a website?
And even this it was pretty random, I just want a way to browse only personal sites and share mine, see different categories like art, sports, etc. What I thought the internet would be, not just corporations tryna sell me something.
Discoverability, everyones following a common theme basically what myspace used to be, a personal site that reflects you that is easily searchable among other sites doing the same things for other ppl, a website can be anything, you know what a myspace page is, old internet was like this forsure, id stumble upon a lot of personal sites that were unique, not really anymore. Like the whole geocities, everyone has a wix/webs site era.
Some benefits of federation for a system like this is possibility of integrated-into-one-system project comments, friends/subscriptions and user/project search/discovery (also by tags).
