As part of my Eigg Box residency I did some hacking and making.

This was the first - a tiny little service that let you create a simple and easy to maintain website using your Dropbox account.

This was inspired by the story of Camille, the Eigg (the Scottish island I was resident on) local historian who lost a website that she had collaborated on when the developer disappeared.

Wouldn’t it be better if your own content were in your own storage that you’re paying for?

That was the thinking.
