"Hello bartender" a man says as he enters the bar. He sits down, his head wandering around the bar. "I think I'll have something light... don't feel like getting drunk tonight yet I don't want water"
This is kinda weird to say out loud but I have a deep appreciation for this site and sites like this one in general. They've helped me learn a lot of things I didn't even know about. I've always been fascinated with how old stuff works and thanks to sites like this one, nightfall.city, and basically any project m15o makes help teach me about stuff like internet protocols, netcat, shell, git, etc. etc.
Again, this feels silly to say but if not for sites like this right now, sites that try to replicate the old, I would not know a lot of the things I know today. I definitely wouldnt have gotten into webdev, I wouldn't have gotten into programming, hell, I probably wouldn't even know how to use *powershell* correctly.
So to the people who make and maintain these projects, thank you.
Forgot to mention that I love your homepage!
Hear hear!
Fellow retro- and minimalist-phile here. It definitely colors my own approach to webdev; I pretty much refuse to use outside frameworks for the most part, and stay away from NPM as well. It's incredible how bloated websites can get.
If you haven't played with it yet, the midnight itself allows for your own CSS theme (i.e. what you see when you're logged in). It's not actually limited to CSS, either...you can add a <script> tag and go to town with JavaScript as well.
