SPLOT

This article is a stub. You can help the IndieWeb wiki by expanding it.

SPLOT is a single purpose web site that allows anonymous or public publishing without requiring registration or signing in to contribute (participants choose how much/little to identify themselves). It defies rigid definitions, and may or may not stand for Smallest/Simplest * Possible/Portable * Open/Online * Learning/Living * Tool/Technology.

Most SPLOTs so far are Wordpress child themes; if they use plugins, free ones. Each comes with theme options interface for tailoring sites; makes use of built in post/category/tags features. One GitHub SPLOT exists. See also a collection of more variants at [c splot.tools].

Most SPLOTs are designed with two core principles in mind:

make it as easy as possible to post activity to the open web in an appealing and accessible way
allow users to do so without creating accounts, or providing any required personal information
