The Thrift Project is about living within your means, paired down, efficient and without unnecessary clutter.
It is also about the internet, what can you get for free, how easy is it, what are the compromises and where are the choices.
It is time-boxed, a bit of a challenge, 5 web sites in 5 days, each distinct from each other using different providers, but still allowing direct comparisons.
It also features the number 5. The rule of 5 is the commitment to taking 5 daily actions to advance towards a chosen goal.
It may be a symmetry thing, or maybe just because I have 5 fingers.
