What even
is Weggle.

A side project that turned into a real product. Written on night shifts, rebuilt twice, and still run by the four people who use it most.

01 / Timeline

How this started.

A reasonably accurate account of events, with the embarrassing parts left in.

  1. 2023Origin

    It starts as a joke

    A file uploader and some bad CSS, written between rounds on a care home night shift by someone certain it would go nowhere. It went somewhere.

  2. 2024Growth

    The duct tape era

    A real site now exists, held together with hope and Stack Overflow answers. Profiles, meme generation and uploads all land in December. Sleep does not.

  3. 2025v1.0

    Ugly, and running

    It works. Barely. The interface looks like it was drawn at 4am, because it was. Still up the whole year, which counts for something.

  4. 2026v2.0

    Gut and rebuild

    BetterAuth replaces the passport spaghetti. Our own CDN replaces Cloudinary. An admin panel that a person can actually use. Same site underneath, finally dressed for company.

02 / Principles

Six things we try
not to get wrong.

01
Ideas from the voidIf it was not thought up at an hour no reasonable person is awake, it probably is not going in.
02
Community, or whateverBuilt for the people who found this place on purpose. If you are reading this, you have questionable taste in websites and we respect it.
03
Accidentally secureWe looked up how not to get hacked and then did all of it. BetterAuth, CSRF everywhere, moderation on uploads.
04
It works most of the timeFeatures get tested before they ship. Mostly. The uptime graph is better than the development process deserves.
05
Fast enoughOur own CDN, connection pooling, compression. No Kubernetes, because one person cannot run a cluster and stay sane.
06
Nothing gets lostDeduplicated by hash, stored on volumes we own, backed up on a schedule. Nothing has gone missing yet.

03 / People

The ones responsible.

All met on Discord. The jury is still out on whether that was a mistake.

Want in on it?

If you read this far you clearly have a soft spot for websites like this one. We are always short of people who get it.
