The garden beds

Make your bed. You plant it, we keep it watered.

Everyone's beds

Everyone in the garden, with their line and where to find them. Go and visit. When you market yourself you market them, and they do the same for you.

Looking...

Nobody is listed who did not plant themselves. Pull your bed up and it is gone.

Make your bed The ways in The gate

A prototype. Your bed is yours to change or pull up any time with your key. Nothing here is a share or a contract until Whimsible is filed; it is a place in the garden while we build it.

Opening a shop is becoming a member. What comes with it: a page of your own in the garden, rooms behind it if you want them, a shop standing on it, paid into your own account, a place in the market, the ledger in the open, and a say. Start wherever you like: build your own place first, or set out things first. Bring what you have already made, point us at where it already lives (a things file, a folder, your own site, your own domain), or start from scratch. Nothing has to move.

How it fits. Your bed is your page in the garden. Your stall is your shop, standing on it. The builder gives the page rooms. One key opens all three.

Your name in the address

beds.whimsible.com/yours

The name on the sign

Your name, or your shop's, as it reads at the top of your page.

One line under it

What this place is, in one line, in your words. It shows under the name here, on everyone's beds and on the tree.

Your words

Plain writing. A line that starts with # becomes a heading. Blank lines make paragraphs. Addresses become links.

Your own place on the web

A picture you host

Or write it where you already write

The address of a plain text or markdown file you keep anywhere: your own site, a public Dropbox or Drive link, a Gist, a GitHub file. We read it when someone visits your bed, so you update from your own place and never come back here. Must start with https.

Or a whole place: end the address with a slash and it is a folder. index.md is your front page, about.md answers /about, and a link written as [words](about.md) goes there. On your own domain everything else in the folder passes straight through too: your own HTML, styles, scripts and pictures. So you can build exactly the kind of place we have, on your own stuff, with your own control over it, and we host it with the search layer underneath. A GitHub repository's raw address, a Neocities site, a folder on your own server, anything that answers https.

Your own domain, if you have one

Your bed at its own address, with the search layer underneath it: description, preview card, sitemap, the data search engines read, and the links from the garden and the tree. Type the domain (yourname.com, or www.yourname.com). Then at your domain's DNS add a CNAME from that name to beds.whimsible.com; we ask for the certificate and your domain shows your bed. Your domain stays yours; point it elsewhere any day.

Need one? Cloudflare Registrar sells them at cost with no markup and no renewal surprise, and a free Cloudflare account puts the DNS in the same place you will add the CNAME. Porkbun is the easy second. You never have to go through us for any of it; a domain bought anywhere, with DNS anywhere, works the same. If you would rather not deal with DNS at all, leave this empty and your bed lives at beds.whimsible.com under your name.

Which door did you come through? Community, with questions Cohort: a subscriber Cohort: a place and the marketing Collaborators: offering what you do Collaborators: an organization or a business Show my bed in the garden, on the tree and on everyone's beds. Put the purse on my own pages too. The pages we write from your words always carry it, so your visitors' tokens travel between your place and ours. Tick this and your own HTML pages, passed through on your own domain, get it at the bottom as well.

A bed can be a whole house. Once it is planted, give it rooms, doors and a look in the world builder.
