Scaffold a 1990s Geocities-themed static website

This is the way.

I made my home page like MySpace:

https://johnspace.xyz

Because it used to be the internet was fun and centered on making stuff yourself and sharing with others. Just like geocities allowed. But now a lot of it all seems like the people making things want to sell things and this has been done at the expense of having spaces for non profit seeking creativity. This is also why I made https://rainy-city.com. Sorry for the self promotion but I really want people to create more stuff like this. Just fun things to find on the internet.

That's, er, definitely not where I expected this to be leading.

Although I guess the PyPI username was a hint.

No no, GeoCities requires hours of html tagging and knowledge not seconds!

It doesn't work properly in Netscape 4 actually. B)

As someone who actually wrote primitive websites by hand in those days, the pages these produce are FAR more elaborate than your average webpage in those days. And divs/css? Should be using tables or gasp, iframes. This feels more like a vaporwave style re-imagining of what things were like than the real deal.

I set up a server that limits bandwidth through it to max dialup speeds, with rate limit buckets per-IP: https://dialup.moveything.com/. It has some gifs, progressive jpegs that are fun to watch load, and a mirror of xkcd.

Clicked on the demo, and was immediately transported back to middle school trying to hack the marquee scroll.
