Jess👾I miss the weird old web. Handcrafted html. Webrings. View counters. Frames. Works best in Netscape Navigator. Watching pictures download line by line. Java applets. Chat rooms. There were certainly problems, but the whole space felt limitless and fun - not just repackaged corporate, SEO, and ad riddled garbage...
Wayne Dixon@JessTheUnstill @donmelton I think I kinda feel like this sometimes and I suspect that it is part of the reason that I ended up redoing my entire website to be static HTML. Granted, I'm using a static site generator, but all of the pages are just standard HTML pages, with minimal javascript. My site is so old-school it doesn't even have search.
benmcramer@waynedixon what static site tool? i’m learning Hugo but having difficulty with workflow
@benmcramer I use Publish by John Sundell, it’s written entirely in Swift, which was one of the appeals for me. I had to create my own fork since I needed it to do things that it couldn’t do natively out of the box.
