It took me here https://greem.co.uk/otherbits/jelly.html Nailing jelly to a wall: is it possible? Which I think is HN worthy in its own right. Also the author of that page and I have the same toaster.
I feel like I need a more comprehensive explanation of jelly/jam. So jam is the same in both countries? What is jelly in America then?

Those little touches of personality just seem almost entirely absent from the new platform-based web.

The art of ninja as expounded upon by a master ninja. I mean, my brain says it's a joke, but it's so extensive and has books for sale.
The site is filled with gems, like this piece of advice on tailoring your training: "If I were in the Ring ... I'd have to regulate my diet and do a lot of running for stamina. When I'm a bouncer, I practice drinking and smoking."
Sound.

I actually love this, and I bookmarked it. Why? Not just because of nostalgia. Web 1.0 sites had a different set of UI idioms, which seem unintuitive to us, as we're too set in our new ways now. If you get past the fact they're ugly by modern standards, you'll see these sites accomplishing amazing results through startlingly simple means. It's an excellent source of inspiration, and if you combine those ideas with mo…
I still don't believe modern we design is actually preferred by the masses. Ofen times it isn't even a balance between aesthetics an clarity, because the modern pages are broken or otherwise unusable. It has gotten to the point where I wonder if maybe I'm not neurotypical.

As a kid, I found windows to be extremely intuitive - no matter what I was doing, if I thought something was possible, the feature would always be exactly where I’d expect to be. And by windows I mean windows and the desktop applications of the time. They worked well and adhered to the same ui principles, vs every saas tool now that does its own thing. Even the fabled UX of macs never compared to me, I always thought…

People had computer problems and asked me for help. I didn't know the answer. But I knew how to quickly find the most likely place where I could diagnose/fix things. And most of the time I was right. > And by windows I mean windows a…
Interesting the impact that can have, years later I work in tech in large part because I was actually able to use and configure the computer I had back then.
