I resonate with this a lot. The one good thing is there actually is a lot of people who feel the same way - we're just overshadowed by loud ones who hold faux nostalgia and act like this is twitter.

this is a very insightful post, and you're totally right on a lot of these points. i was actually really overwhelmed by some of the intense tribalism happening on some of these accounts and it scared me a away from neocities for a bit. happy to know there are other sane people out there that recognize that this is supposed to be fun!

neocities preview seems determined to show only the least relevant updates so i am taking matters into my own hands! https://nenrikido.yorniq.xyz/code/

The Windows 98 icon viewer was awesome! I might add more Windows 3.1/9x era icons to my site over time.

update preview is not showing what i'd like it to! anyways, there are a few new links (there's a library now!) and a new blog post. try clearing your cache (ctrl f5) if anything looks weird.

I loved learning about bootstrap and the history of flexboxes in your post, and it's awesome that you're working so diligently to grow your skills. I didn't realize how ubiquitous flex boxes were until my partner, a pro web dev, was like how did you make a layout without one ??? lol I had never heard of them until last year when I started my site since the last time I wrote code was in ~2012. XD
i used tools that were built off of flexbox (like bootstrap grid) but it was so mysterious to me until i finally just sucked it up and learned. so much of css (like grids & variables) still feel so newfangled to me...the world has changed a lot since 2012!!
