jump to repliesIf you need to teach #smolweb to your AI tools such as #claude or #mistral #vibe I share a Smolweb skill definition you can install directly.
I know that many smolweb enthusiasts refuse to use this sort of tool, but if it helps to ensure there are more smolweb sites, I think it’s a good idea to share this.

back to top@adele I may have missed something, but doesn't the use of AI completely contradict the point of smolweb?

@adele @julienbidoret
If you want I can help you out with your regexes.
@EndlessMason I grab your account for the next time I need help about that ;-)

@adele Thanks for having written this down, and pointed me to it. I understand your points, but am not sure I agree. For me, smolweb (and whatever the spelling or specific name we use) isn’t just about performance, accessibility, lightweight pages and support for older devices. It also has (should have?) a political stance. If we seek to optimise page size, combat hardware obsolescence and make content accessible, it is to address social, environmental –political– issues. The use of LLMs seems to me to run counter to these issues. Even local models strike me as a full-scale endorsement of the political agenda championed by LLM vendors and developers (an agenda that I feel to be diametrically opposed to that of the smolwebs).
That being said, sorry if I just add another item to a discussion you had multiple times.
@julienbidoret I understand your point of view. I used to spread some basic concept and to stay in this area. Sometime, imposing stricter rules exclude a part of the public that could be impacted, rejecting them. Restricting smolweb concept to people also refusing AI usage is not the way I think. Refusing AI is a different struggle (that is also legit).
