<h1>This website</h1>
<small><time>2022-05-09</time></small>
<p>My personal website has gone through
<a href="https://github.com/reinefjord/website">multiple</a>
<a href="https://github.com/reinefjord/reinefjord.net-v2">iterations</a>,
<a href="https://github.com/reinefjord/reinefjord.net-v3">this</a>
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.</p>
<p>This one is just plain HTML files, written by hand, with CSS and JS
inline if needed. It is an exercise in
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KISS_principle">keeping it simple, stupid</a>,
an experiment to see how 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, minimalist "design" in
web pages.</p>
<p>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 replace the content. This page was copied from
<code>/index.html</code> 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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Being able to do this makes me happy, though:</p>
