This website
+ + +My personal website has gone through + multiple + iterations, + this + being the third version. The first one was a relatively simple Flask + app. The second one looked very similar to this one but had a Bash script + to compile CSS and cache bust static CSS and JS files, in practice a very + simple static site generator.
+ +This one is just plain HTML files, written by hand, with CSS and JS + inline if needed. It is an exercise in + + keeping it simple, stupid + , + an experiment to see if the site evolves with time, and a way to satisfy + my longing for a time when the internet was less corporations and more + personal. It also helps that I really like simple, brutalist "design" in + web pages.
+ +Having CSS and JavaScript inline hopefully means that this isolated + page should keep working even if other parts of the website change. + That's the "evolving" part. When I want to create a new page, I'll just + copy another page and just replace the content. This page is copied from + the index.html for example. Or I'll create a page from scratch. + Consistency is boring anyway, and I'm free to style every page however I + see fit.
+ +I've deliberately made it available over both HTTP and HTTPS without + redirection from one to the other. I want this website to be available + through even the most basic means. If you do need to use HTTPS to + prevent your ISP from injecting ads or some other reason, you can.
+ +Being able to do this makes me happy, though:
