Incredibly cool! This should invite a whole new type of blogger to the internet - well done!

Curious - I'm looking at your other projects as well and the design is quite good. Are you using a firm for design, or do you have any front end frameworks to recommend? For some reason design consistency the way you have it is extremely hard for me.

Fun idea. I have a memory a website from years ago that was photos of writing on a whiteboard or fridge. I'm certain it wasn't accessible nor SEO-friendly though it was inadvertently mobile friendly.

I love the ending. Seriously, if you're a TLDR; person and just here for the comments, go read the article (it's short) and come back.

Three above this story on the front page is an article called "The Web Is Fucked", complaining about how there's no character on the web any more, and lamenting the 90s, Geocities etc. etc. I'd say this story refutes that one.

We remember the fun stuff, but you had to look for it even back in the day.
