Reminds of od days when GeoCities were around. Except there was no jQuery at that time :)

Drop the annoying music and it's perfect. Beats the "modern" gibberish which requires server grade hardware to be semi-useful(and that is coming from someone who's main computer hasw a dual-socket motherboard with two 14-core xeons filling those sockets).

Someone once told me, “you will know what nostalgia truly is, when you see a younger generations nostalgia and think it’s still shit because you are too old for that to have been your childhood”.

The jQuery era is something I’d never want to go back to. Not because jQuery was bad, but because the basic DOM api was so poor, JavaScript was much more limited and incoherent, and webpages made anything outside of text input difficult (e.g. no voice, no gestures).

An adjustable volume bar? That's the equivalent of using Vue.js back in the 90s.

Sorcery.

EDIT: Jokes on me. This site is built in Vue.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I still use jQuery but https://umbrellajs.com too. And native DOM API as well.

Fetch is great. I never understood the need for installing axios when fetch works fine. I remember the good old days of XMLHttpRequest.

Axios has better errror handling.
