Terms of Service and Privacy Policy updates - March 8, 2026

We've updated our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy to show that Nekoweb is now operated by Kicya (owners are still the same). We've incorporated, since Nekoweb is now too big to be operated as a personal project. This doesn't change anything for you, and everything else remains the same.

WebDAV compatibility improvements - March 7, 2026

We've improved WebDAV compatibility with various clients. You can now add your site as a network drive on Windows and macOS, without having to use any third party software. We've also added a tutorial to the WebDAV page to help you set it up.

We also added a way to sort your followers by follow date. Unfortunately, the followers that followed before this update will not be sorted.

New SSI directives - February 11, 2026

We've added new free SSI directives! You can now get last modified time of files, get file size, get views, updates and follower counts of your site, and easily embed follow button on your site.

We also updated list directive to include created_time, modified_time and size of files.

Check SSI page for more info.

SSI support - January 28, 2026

Nekoweb now has SSI (Server-Side Includes) support! You can use SSI to include html within other html files, create reusable layouts, render markdown files, create dynamic blogs, galleries and more. Check SSI page for more info.

WebDAV support - January 18, 2026

In addition to FTP, Nekoweb now has WebDAV support for donators! You can now use WebDAV to upload, edit and manage your website files from your computer. Check WebDAV page for more info.

Password protected pages - January 17, 2026

Nekoweb now has password protected pages! You can now protect specific folders with a password. When a user tries to access a protected path, they will be prompted to enter the password. Create _auth.html file in the folder you want to protect to customize the authentication page.

As promised on Patreon, this is a Neko tier ($7) feature.

WebTiles - January 10, 2026

WebTiles has been released! There is a large grid of 250x250 tiles, on which you are be able to create a tiny website, contained into the tile. You can basically consider the tile as a mini version of your website, showcasing what your full site has (but it can be anything). You are able to link to your full site, and use any HTML/CSS/JS inside. The purpose is to create beautiful and interesting tiles, that could be used for exploring the indie-web in an easy and interesting way.

Site box changes - November 21, 2025

We've made some changes to the site and post boxes (elements.css):

  • 2MB per image limit is now strictly enforced. This will be reduced further to 1MB in the future. Please check if your images are over 1MB and resize/compress them if necessary, otherwise they won't load and your site box will be broken.
  • Now if any of images in your site box fail to load (too big, non-existent, etc), the entire site box style is reset to default. This is to prevent broken site box styles from being shown to users.

Many sites have been affected with this change. We urge all users to check their site boxes and fix any issues with images.

Nekode is now out of beta! It is now a paid feature, but new users can try it out for the first month for free.

Multi-site support - July 25, 2025

Nekoweb now has true multi-site support! This feature required one of the largest refactors in Nekoweb's history, even though for most it won't be noticeable.

Additionally, we are planning to migrate all sites to a new routing system. Please check settings page for more info.

Nekode - June 30, 2025

Nekoweb is getting a second editor option! Introducing Nekode Beta, a web editor based on open-source VSCode.

Edit your site in much more convenient environment:

  • One of the most popular code editors, directly in your browser, hooked to your site filesystem
  • See changes on your site instantly using Live Preview
  • Integration with NekoGit. Commit and see differences instantly in the editor
  • Search all your site files instantly
  • Upload, rename, remove, and do other manipulations with files directly in the editor
  • Install a (limited) set of VSCode extensions
  • A large amount of different themes

This is currently a free Beta for everyone. After it's out of beta, this will become a paid Cute kitty tier feature as this requires a large load on Nekoweb's server. So try it out while it's still free!!!

Try it out now!

'Cat tier' removal - December 20, 2024

Hi. Unfortunately, we've removed 'Cat tier' ($1 one) from Nekoweb. Patreon and payment fees and taxes made it not worth it for us to leave it on.

Please keep in mind, that if you're currently on Cat tier, you'll continue having it without any changes. This change only affects new users.

Site statistics - December 13, 2024

We've added site statistics page! You can now see how many visits, followers and updates your site has had. Visit stats page to see it.

RSS Feed - December 12, 2024

Nekoweb now has built-in RSS feed for sites you follow! Set up your feed in settings page for other users to know when you make a new post.

Mobile improvements - November 30, 2024

Nekoweb is now (mostly) mobile friendly! Thanks to ourheroisasandwich.nekoweb.org for making the mobile style.

Updates - October 19, 2024

Hi, there's some updates:

  • Nekoweb now has strict slash option. This allows to prevent having duplicate pages with and without trailing slash with different relative link behavior. Check settings page for more info.

New server - September 5, 2024

Now Nekoweb is running on a new server! We are now using a much larger and more efficient server. This should make Nekoweb faster and more stable.

API Rate limits - August 25, 2024

We've added a new API endpoint - /api/files/limits that returns a JSON object with info about status of various rate limits for your account. We also allowed more zip requests to donators (it's 3X now).

Premium storage update - August 21, 2024

Hi, maximum premium storage has been reduced from 20 GB to 10 GB. Currently there's no sites that use more than 10 GB, so this change should not affect anyone.

We've decided to do this so that our growth is more predictable and sustainable. We hope you understand.

Following page improvement - August 15, 2024

Now following page sorts and groups sites by last updated date. This should make it easier to see when sites you follow were updated.

Dashboard and editor improvements - July 28, 2024

Hi, there's some improvements and bug fixes in the dashboard and editor:

  • Fixed moving files and folders
  • You can now sort files in dashboard by name, size or last modified
  • You can now see size and last modified date of files by hovering on them
  • You can now create files and folders from file editor
  • Made editor follow indentation settings of prettier.json file
  • You can now CTRL + click on folders in editor dashboard to open full dashboard in new tab
  • Fixed save error text being broken
  • Fixed file text search popup having broken style

That is all. Have a nice day!

New default theme - July 11, 2024

As you might already see, Nekoweb is now using a new default theme!

Unfortunately, person who made original theme didn't want it to be used, so it was replaced with a new one. This new theme was made by Rol, big thanks to them!

Changing default theme means that all other themes broke, so theme picker was removed.

Please contact us if you encounter any issues with the new theme. Thank you!

Atabook launch - May 23, 2024

In response to imminent 123Guestbook death, we've been working on our guestbook service called Atabook.org.

It's done! We tried to implement basically all of 123guestbook's features (and there's some unique ones too).
In future there might be some kind of premium tier (most likely part of Nekoweb's Patreon) with custom css, custom domain or no ads (currently there's no ads at all but to cover costs there might be in future), but for now it doesn't have anything of that, just a free guestbook.

Updates - May 4, 2024

Some updates:

  • You can now add <iframe src="https://nekoweb.org/frame/follow" frameborder="0" width="170" height="28"></iframe> to your page to have actual 'Follow on Nekoweb' button! you can also style it by styling .follow element in elements.css file!
  • Non-Cloudflare domains are now supported!
  • Bunch of fixes and improvements (better pagination, no more cors errors between nekoweb sites, sorting by least views, etc)

NekoVM & release - April 8, 2024

Hi, new updates!

Most importantly, an actual gamechanger: introducing NekoVM, a Linux with Node.js and NPM running inside your browser, with full read/write access to your site filesystem.

What this means? You can now use any static site builder or framework to build your site. literally any framework, like actually! It's available to everyone too, not just donators!

Theres also support for local port forwarding so you can for example run vite dev server with frameworks that support it.

This is still beta. Report any bugs when u see them and backup ur site before doing anything in terminal. You can launch your site in terminal about once per minute (opening site in terminal counts to import/export zip rate limit which is currently 1 time per 1 minute (2 times for donators))

Theres also 2 more cool features:

  • You can now remove .html from your links! This was a very requested feature and now its here, you can enable this in site settings
  • Theres now support for setting custom HTTP headers for donators, also in settings!

While NekoVM is still Beta, this update log marks Nekoweb Release™️, yea if you didnt notice Nekoweb was still beta all this time.
Nekoweb has been running for almost 2 months now and most of issues have been fixed and things seem to run nicely. We hope it'll continue to be this way.

Teams & editor updates - March 5, 2024

A ton of new updates:

  • You can now invite others to edit your site!
  • Due to explore page being 70 megabytes now there is now a size limit for assets used in your site box: 2.5 MB. If you use image that exceeds it, it wont be loaded (sometimes it can load due to browser stuff but for most users itll be blank so keep this in mind)
  • Editor will show if one of ur assets in elements.css is over 1 megabyte in size and warn you of this (please consider other peoples internet)
  • Bumped site limit from 5 to 10 for cute kitty users
  • Added format button for html, css and js files
  • Added option to autoformat code on save
  • You can optionally change formatter settings by creating prettier.json file and including prettier settings (you can also nest them in js, html or css to only use them for these files)
  • Added emmet (it's a thing that allows you to write for example div#test and then press tab and itll turn into <div id="test"></div> automatically, neat)
  • Added text wrap option to editor (makes all text always show on screen instead of having to horizontally scroll)
  • Now Nekoweb has automatic password resets
  • Also its required to verify email now on new registers
