About Us
SurfScape is a collective made and managed by @reduxflakes focused on developing software and services focused on transparency, privacy, and user control.
Our goal is to help everyone break away from corporate walled gardens and become more educated about digital privacy, web accessibility, and the importance of digital independence.
Backstory
SurfScape began in 2022 under the name NaviNet with the simple goal of hosting a web portal for Flash games and a search engine dedicated to Neocities sites (basically a worse knockoff of OpenBooks).
Over time NaviNet changed, it migrated from GitHub Pages to Neocities, went through several name changes, and shifted focus from Flash games to services for the Neocities community (while still offering our Flash portal).
In 2023, the project adopted the name NetFind, and shortly after became what is now known as SurfScape. Since then, the web portal has gone through many revisions both in content and design, going over with Web 2.0, Web3 and Frutiger Aero asthetics.
Late 2024 to early 2025 SurfScape shifted from an IndieWeb web portal to the collective structure that has adopted now, with the goal of developing software and services for everyone.
For the more curious, most versions of the SurfScape website are available on web.archive.org.
