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 inp…

I remember when web pages looked like that. I used the same animations and hosted on Geocities. It's shit. I got a smirk out of seeing it again, but I just felt embarrassed for 1998 me.

I remember when web pages looked like that... and it was AFTER I started making websites. I was scrolling through this page thinking "this stuff is too new, look at all these advanced features it's using". Flaming text? That's like 1999, practically cutting-edge! hahah :)

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.

Fetch doesn't have progress bars yet.

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…

It’s actually built with Nuxt, a Vue framework [1]. I believe this style is called “faux retro”.

And thank whatever deity you may or may not believe in that this changed. Yes, it sucks for these traditional websites, but advertisers abused it so much it hurt.

Shouldn't it be possible to still achieve auto-play using JavaScript? It's just a tiny bit more effort. :)

No, the browser checks the call stack of the javascript function. If the play() isn't a direct result of some kind of user interaction. It will just deny you from playing audio.

So play upon you open the page is no longer possible. You at least need to wait for the user to touch somewhere on the page.

Hey why is it that all these sites are always about how the old web was good and we should make things like the old web, but the only thing they ever make is stuff about how we should make things like the old web. I mean I would expect them to after making the first site suggesting you do it like this, to make a number of sites showing the aesthetic put to other subjects of interest. Like, Carl's Icosahedron Spot on…

So many people make websites that basically look like they are from the 90's (though without all the animated GIFs haha), and use basic features without any strictly-modern stuff. These are just a few off the top of my head:
