Dreamwidth is an online platform that provides users with a simple, yet customizable blogging experience. The website was founded in 2008 by a team that was dissatisfied with LiveJournal's monetization and centralized decision-making. The platform enables users to create their own journals, connect with other bloggers, and share content through a variety of features such as private messaging, photo galleries, and communities. It also offers the ability to import content from other platforms like LiveJournal, Tumblr, and WordPress. Dreamwidth is designed around an open-source philosophy that emphasizes user empowerment and freedom of expression.

About 75% of its developers are female, [18] [19] compared with around 1.5% in the field as a whole. [20]en.wikipedia.orgA 2009 OSCON presentation saw Dreamwidth identified as highly unusual among open-source projects, for the number of women on its development team.
