  I condsider #smallweb/#smolweb to largely be document-only based and deferring to the user's visualization preferences and not requiring persistent data (i.e. cookies, localdata, etc). So pure HTML qualifies if it works 100% without CSS or JS enabled. Or #gopher & #gemini qualify.

  Regardless, it doesn't necessarily *exclude* corporate websites or gopher-spaces or gemini-capsules, but very few corporations are interested in participating in a space where they can't control the experience/branding/tracking. So they *could* be part of the smolweb, but choose not to.

  At least that's my thoughts on the matter 😆

  For a bit more organized rambling on the topic, I wrote up a post on my SmallWeb/SmolWeb thoughts
