found you on that last comment while I was browsing the activity feed, but I absolutely love your site! I love how you express visually through fonts and colors, making an art out of formatting words.

the infamous "neocities and a lack of passion" article by mariteaux isn't very good

Just read it. Sounds like Mariteaux only saw some "passions" as legitimate, maybe? At the time, at least (is there an update for now)? Unsure.

yes there is an update but not much has changed mariteaux opinion I believe

in 1998 people were making websites that had no purpose and no creative uniqueness. I don't understand the point of view that a website should have a purpose or be useful to the audience. That's never been the intent of personal websites. often there was a goodies page because the bulk of the site had nothing to do with the visitor or their experience.

I genuinely think the passion article (as well as the nostalgiamining one) created some kind of cancer in the indieweb community. well intentioned ideas but misdirected

after reading it for the first time I can't remember whether I deleted my site entirely or just abandoned it but it certainly wasn't good. I'm still trying to recover from feeling like my site shouldn't exist

YOUR WEBSITE IS WORTHLESS AND BORING UNLESS I PERSONALLY FIND IT ENTERTAINING!

not very good and also honestly read to me as a bit condescending, especially as someone who -did- have a website back in 1998. i think other commenters already hit the nail on the head of the article just seeming like websites the author personally didn't find appealing shouldn't exist, which honestly always dismays me to see whenever it comes up in personal website communities...

like yeah my 1998 website was made by a teenager and self-indulgent and silly, and it also set the bedrock for what the site i have is now. and even if it didn't, my old site deserved to exist just as much as anyone else's. i really hope martieaux has come around since writing that, but my experience with people informs me a lot of people simply never do...

I'm like 2k words into detailing absolutely every hangup I have over some makeup product and I just don't see myself swatching them and taking pictures for all to see I guess some things are just not making it into history books because I hate camera

a) I come mostly from the solitude of my own ramblings, but I've started to see a small network of writers emerge amongst those I interact with. b) Can't remember sorry. c) Colour scheme, bold minimalism, use of -type style, "art is perversion"

Some split into deeper networks of information like mold, and sometimes they're shallow. Eventually sites turn into time capsules of what the webmaster intended was important enough to conserve, and that's kind of cute.

I might hibernate for a bit. it's awkward because I just lopped off a good chunk of my site and I was planning to get them back up in the next update. I'm just really going to focus more now on game dev because I'm having fun and I don't want to feel like I'm wasting time I could have spent on my website. 1 necessary update will come soon but after that I am retreating and I will never tell anyone what I'm up to

I have this idea for a thing that flips every thing on my site into its mirror image but I was having trouble with the way css transform messed with the header so I'm dropping it. it would also be a ux nightmare and might prompt people to never visit my site ever again lol
