It may be a stupid question but why did you strike through 2022 and 2023? Did you create it in 2022 and maintained it since or is it a recent project?
It was supposed to be released in 2022 and then 2023 but kept getting frozen

#52They even use float: left to style their page. True retro!

I thank the lord for CSS grid and flexbox. Now that I think of it, I haven't used floats in a while.

#54I like how this site doesn't do the weird thing neocities does where it shows random pages that were updated in a feed. The sitebox thing is cool.

Gating discussion of the open web in a proprietary service is an interesting decision. Shows that we're still far too reliant on closed protocols for even smaller nontrivial tasks like making a message board.

#58Has anybody made a retro page yet? Post it here, let's start a web ring!!! I made mine, it was super fun: https://catpea.nekoweb.org/ Also, the freaking marquee tag still works! Here is something to bring tears to your eyes: https://web.archive.org/web/20011201030230/http://davinci.ic...
I've started collecting cool stuff I found on dimden's homepage https://kayce.nekoweb.org/index.html

#59I'm always surprised by the creativity of these personal websites. The web is so utilitarian and marketing oriented that I forget that a web page is a blank canvas ready for artistic expression.
If Neocities captured the Geocities / Angelfire vibes of 1995 - 2001, then Nekoweb captures the budding anime / early Millennial vibe of 2000 - 2006. This was right around the time that Xanga, LiveJournal, and the rest started peeling apart the indie web. And by the time Facebook started growing, it was game over.
To me it feels like cyworld, if you had a chance to use that around 2003.
