This website is designed to be pure HTML, with everything else being optional unless stated otherwise. Additionally. it is designed to work
with old browsers.
But why this?
We live in an era where web developers tend towards using giant frameworks to
power their websites. This leaves "potato" computers behind to rot. However,
these "potato" computers are very capable. They can do any office job, run games,
run dozens of services such as web servers, and do anything. Except web browsing.
These "potato computers" would still be usable, and very widespread today
if not for "modern" "web technologies" which are spreading over the software
world like a pestilence. We increasingly see desktop apps built off of HTML, CSS,
and JS, which use Chromium as a backend and run resource intensive frameworks.
And you know what the worst part is? This is promoted as "a good thing".
People love to make tons of "progress" and drag others kicking and screaming
into "the future" without even stopping to think: "Is this a good idea?"
As hardware manufacturers improve on hardware, the software industry will sigh a
breath of relief as they realize they can now be even more lazy and wasteful.
Attempting to reverse the trend
I am building my website like this in hopes that it will make a web developer decide
that maybe using monolithic frameworks isn't such a great thing. HTML is very easy to
learn, and so is CSS. And, you don't need all that much Javascript for your website to
be interactive.
