Wikipedia to the rescue! > jelly (from the French gelée)[29] is a clear or translucent fruit spread made by a process similar to that used for making jam, with the additional step of filtering out the fruit pulp after the initial cooking. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fruit_preserves#Jelly
That seems entirely counterproductive. Why remove the fruit from jam?
It is really fascinating that the first website I went to is exactly named "Why bkuhn's Website Looks Like Crap", where someone explains why he is sticking to Web 1.0. http://www.ebb.org/bkuhn/why-crap.html These are the times that make me consider to believe in fortune.
What an absolute dream.
I ended up at this site [1]. The TLD makes it obvious this is a new site, and this person is choosing to keep the aesthetic alive today :) [1]: https://upallnight.wtf/screens/screens

Once in a while you hit a really ancient site that is CSS free. Like the original CERN sites. They seem strange but navigation is usually absolutely clear and they are lightening fast.
Another interesting aspect of these classic sites is that they’re pretty much completely compatible with screen readers with zero additional effort.

Probably a lesson about startups in here somewhere

They didn’t eat the entire Internet. They didn’t even eat the web. They set up parallel walled gardens. The web is still there. Personal websites just don’t scale to the masses. This is fine and probably for the best.
It's a nice theory if not for the fact that one never seem to run into things like these off Web searches.
It's awesome how you can stumble upon sites that are so funny or interesting (in multiple ways) that you just want to share them immediately forward. Everyone says it but it's true: something just got lost in translation when social media pages ate the whole internet.
These sites only get shared via some sort of centralized (or not) type of social media. AIM and MSN was the craze back then, you either saw web 1.0 stuff from your friends there, or coworkers via email.
Sharing links with MSN and AIM came much later when you could be online significantly more.
