huh? Since when was making blinking text and displaying clip arts fun? Even back in the day, you knew web as a platform was handicapped, when compared to the awesome expressiveness of Macromedia Flash.

#42Needs a hit counter at the bottom of the page. Also, a webring link. Really, we should bring back webring links.

#43> We used to make websites because it was fun and at a point we lost the way
I know this is just some little tongue in cheek joke, but I can't help but vehemently disagree with this.
Never did we only make websites just "because it was fun" any more or less than we do now.

#44I love the point the site is trying to make but I'm confused as to why this is built with a vue.js static site generator requiring node/npm/yarn and an almost 7,000 line yarn.lock file. Shouldn't this literally be a single page, hand-built HTML file with inline CSS? Is this trying to be self-ironic or something?
Surely if it was good enough for time-cube guy, it should be good enough for us.

That's not surprising because all the tools we had to make these horrible, ugly sites were pre-css and often browser specific items that would only work on say ie4.

Shouldn't this literally be a single page, hand-built HTML file with inline CSS? Is this trying to be self-ironic or something? Yes, I'm going to assume that is a parody. However, signs of FrontPage or Word as an editor would be cool.
Reminds me of the Bloomberg tech site, which had a lot of effort put into its 'brutalist' design to look like a 1995-era web page.

#47Oh man, I love stuff like this. It's too bad that the web has been taken over by bootstrap, WordPress, and squarspace. But you can do a lot with raw html, css, and JavaScript! And as a bonus, it ends up looking really unique. It's sort of weird that whenever I show friends the dumb shit I make [1], their immediate reaction is lump it in with geocities. [1] ex. http://fastcashmoneyplus.biz
That is just beautiful :)
Re: Make front end shit again
#48A few months ago I created a project called Hypertext Town, a simple project where anybody can create "camps" (a collection of HTML, images etc.) and connect them together through "towns". A town lives at a subdomain (e.g: town.hypertext.town) and a camp lives at /~camp (e.g: town.hypertext.town/~camp). I never "launched" it so it's just been languishing in obscurity on the www but if anybody wants to make cute littl…
Cool! I like the simplicity.
If anyone wants to play, I've made a town for us.

Really fun idea, playing with it now!

#50Earlier quoted context omitted.
I wonder if there's some way to simulate the row by row image loading. I guess that's not the point of this website, but that would make me feel nostalgic.
Don't forget progressive JPGs, which loads the entire height of the image over and over with gradually increasing detail.
Shhhh... Or my boss will hear you
