Some of my friends are finding a lot of neat websites under https://neocities.org, a Geocities-inspired service. They are all light and easy to parse, so I hope everyone there the best!

If you have a friend who'd like to mess around with that style but isn't tech-savvy enough, I've had my share of fun on https://mmm.page

I'm on mobile. It loads quick. I saw no ads. It was reasonable straight to the point: no explanation about this being grandmothers pie recipe or anything to that effect. (In fact, if you consider the point of the website to be funny it is actually straight to the point.) If it is fast, doesn't track me and provides the answers I need I can put up with some animations. I'd say what we have today is far more problemati…

Same experience here. It loads instantly when 99% of the sites need 30s to 1 min to load. It looks decent on mobile (not too big, not too small). Contrast is good, fonts are readable. This guy should give web design lessons.

I loaded it on mobile too..

- Horizontal scrolling because it isn't properly responsive.

- it doesn't reflow when the device orientation changes

- no sound (there's an audio control so I guess there's meant to be..)

- the audio control sits over the flags

- wildly different text sizes everywhere

- so much layout shift

- from an error loading the Korean version I think it's running on a platform that tracks what users do (serverside tracking is mostly fine in my opinion, and unavoidable really, but it's still tracking).

It's fun, and oddly similar to my first website actually, but I'll take the modern Web over this sort of nostalgia every time.

My eyes hurt. No thank you.

Wait until you see this: https://www.lingscars.com/

This is a bit heavy but it's creative. And the info is not hidden after dark patterns or hamburgers. One can see where the menu is and can easily navigate to rent a car.

Sound autoplay doesn't really work anymore in modern browsers.
