Earlier quoted context omitted.

My first website was built with FrontPage[0]. I will recommend you to try it out after I figured out how to time travel :) [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_FrontPage

I used Frontpage, and Frontpage Extensions on the server side. I used HoTMetaL, Dreamweaver, and a few other WYSIWYG editors too. They were good, but nothing quite beat Notepad (or BBEdit if you were on a Mac). I remember Adobe Pagemill was really handy for doing the same changes across hundreds of files too. As fun as it was then I don't want to go back.

I used Frontpage for a good while (I made a nice chunk of change off of that app), but switched to Dreamweaver as I started doing more and more PHP.

But either way, I always loved those programs (and was really irritated by the elitists who said you couldn't make decent sites unless you used only notepad; those training wheels helped me become good at something that all of my "notepad-only" friends have all given up on).

But I agree, as fun as it was, I really have no desire to go back to that world.

FUCK FUCK FUCK HN REPORT PLEASE Srysly, when does this thread get tagged as spam?

I'm confused - what's going on? Is the submitter meant to be a bot account trying to accumulate upvotes or something?

I think this rando was confused by the realization that there are children on the internet who read HN and want to share something with the group of people on here.

Personally, I think it's interesting to see what kids these days are up to. There was a game written by a 12-year-old on HN this week that was quite good; and at least one JS framework with actual users that made the HN frontpage is maintained by a 13-year-old.

Nice website. Interesting, in Taiwan international schools are forbidden to enrol Taiwanese students. I wonder what the rationale is behind that. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taipei_American_School

if u read carefully, they say only students without foreign passport, which I do (Canadian)

Ahh, I have been trolled. HN needs a specific report button, even for young accounts, because duh, this post.

If you see something horrible wrong posted to HN you can email the mods: hn@ycombinator.com (it's a manual process, so write to them only in special cases)

This is a strange submission and probably will not reach the front page, but IMHO it's necessary to report it manually to the mods.

Anyway, if you continue to post similar angry comments in allcaps the mods may notice and ban your account, so better try to fly under the radar for a few days.

the phone number is not real

In the movies, they use 555 to show a fictional phone number in USA, I don't know if there is something similar in Taiwan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/555_(telephone_number)

Since this is not your phone, are you sure that it is not somebody else phone?
