A home on the web.
OpenBooks is a hub for Neocities community projects. Currently, our projects include two search engines and the OpenBooks WebRing. It will also be host to future projects by The OpenBooks Authors and Coyote Reyne.
OpenBooks was started in 2014 as the personal site of Coyote Reyne, and has had various iterations over the years, some focusing more on being a personal site, and others more on being a community hub for Neocities. The current site sits between these two ideals.
