Design Principles
Simple Page exists to democratize content creation and publishing on the decentralized web.
Our guiding principles shape both the product and the community around it.
🌐 Censorship Resistance
No one should be able to silence your voice.
By building on IPFS and ENS, Simple Page ensures that published content is resilient to takedowns and centralized control.
- Content is stored on a peer-to-peer network.
- Domains are owned on-chain, not leased from intermediaries.
- Users decide what to publish and preserve.
✨ Simplicity
Publishing should be simple and accessible to everyone.
You shouldn’t need technical expertise to share your ideas with the world.
- A clean Markdown-first editor.
- One-click publishing to your ENS domain.
- Templates to get started quickly (blogs, wikis, link pages, etc.).
🔑 Ownership
You should fully own and control your content and identity online.
Simple Page makes ownership transparent and verifiable.
- Content is tied to your ENS domain.
- You control the keys; no middlemen or hidden platforms.
- Forking and remixing are possible without losing authorship.
⏳ Integrity & Version History
Publishing through Ethereum provides a tamper-proof audit log.
Every update to your site leaves a cryptographic record on-chain, making your publishing history transparent and verifiable.
- ENS content records act as checkpoints of your site over time.
- Anyone can verify when and how a site changed.
- Version history cannot be altered retroactively, ensuring accountability.
🕸️ Decentralization
The web should be decentralized: no single point of failure, no gatekeepers.
Simple Page embraces open standards and distributed infrastructure.
- Content is distributed across many peers, not served from one server.
- Names are secured on Ethereum, not through rent-seeking DNS registrars.
- The project itself is open-source and community-driven.
