TIL people made club penguin clones 🤯

i like it - simple and clean (and responsive)!

I love the simplicity, but on your manifesto page is the title supposed to be "Downgrade to Web 1.0"? Also, you should post some info on the books you have under your library under the Library thread. Curious about your 2015 and 2019 reads from your point of view.

I remember when I was first getting into web-design (early/mid 90s) and my only goal was to make my page load fast on a 24400 modem. The software I used at the time I cant recall but it had a nice page weight function to tell you how large it was and about how long it would take to load at various speeds. Tools like CoffeeCup, MS Front Page, Paint Shop Pro (slicing!), Macromedia Dreamweaver all played their parts now and then. But getting a full set of pages under 100kb was great. Kind of miss those days (but not marquees or midi's playing automatically).

Netscape Gold! Had an in built website builder - spent way too much time on that thing.

Also miss the era of Flash, a great idea executed poorly. Build your interactive elements using vectors to keep the size small but you can deploy it by just linking to a single file. But the idea behind Flash was so forward thinking. It was to give power to people to build websites the way they wanted. Doing even a 10th of that stuff now requires a lot of technical knowledge that Flash could handle in the background. I guess the move to HTML5 was a trade off of openness over ease of use.

yeah! club penguin private servers have been around for over a decade, but they've definitely made more of a comeback once the original game was taken down. i recommend newcp since that has the most players atm and it gets frequent updates and parties :3

Came across this recent book (by Kevin Kelly) that seems to be in a similar vein to your site: Excellent Advice for Living. I'm not linking to Amazon though, because it's a pretty easy digital find online.

I'm not shilling it or anything. Just more wanted to share that: "Hey! This kinda thing could be made into a book."

He had a preamble to the book on his website as well: 103 Bits of Advice I Wish I Had Known

Make of it what you will.

Thanks for this, I always appreciate these kind of things. Part of the inspiration for this style comes from seeing various quotes on line from all manner of famous writers etc. There have been many times when a single sentence has brought more clarity to an idea than a book on the same subject.

On the flip side there are times when it is wise to go in deep on ideas and concepts, you cannot distill everything down to the bare bones. I have been doing a lot of long form writing on AI and technology recently because to summarize them down would miss huge parts of it and in cases like that filling in the blanks can lead to wildly different interpretations.

Hi all
