It was fun reading https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30929345 to see people linking, debating, and critiquing/admiring each other's sites. So what's yours?

MaxLeiter11• 4 years ago

I'm at https://maxleiter.com, built with next.js for server-side generation but with javascript removed in the final bundle so it comes in at ~13KB cold cache. At risk of being mocked for my definition of minimalism, I tried to keep it fairly minimalist and simple while having a modern web aesthetic.

thiagomg2• 4 years ago

I know almost nothing about design, but it look minimalist to me

Minor49er3• 4 years ago

Not mine, but a project of a friend's that makes experimental music to raise money for charity: https://moonmusiq.com/

It's supposed to be simple so everything about it is on a single page without Javascript or any third party dependencies

MaxLeiter11• 4 years ago

I like it! but you might want to let your friend know the link color very accessible with that background color: https://wave.webaim.org/report#/https://moonmusiq.com/

Minor49er3• 4 years ago

What a great tool. I'll pass this info along. Thank you!

thiagomg2• 4 years ago

Interesting. I always thought my website was just ugly, but now I am calling it minimalist.

seanwilson• 4 years ago

My project website: https://www.checkbot.io/

I was aiming for a simple and clean design, with fast loading. The whole homepage is 200KB transferred. Renders in about 0.7s on my desktop.

Main tricks: use SVG everywhere you can (the big screenshot is SVG) and consider inlining it, use minimal CSS and inline it, host fonts yourself, use CSS font swap, don't use JavaScript for content or at all if you can help it, minimise CSS/JS/HTML and use HTTP2.

If we're talking personal:

- I had https://shahinrostami.com which grew into a collection of notebooks, now it's not so personal...

- Recently booted up https://polyra.com, which I'm keeping a little more personal

For my projects, I have https://plotapi.com and https://plotpanel.com

mcovalt• 4 years ago

Named after our cats. We're using Gatsby and it uses JavaScript for displaying a static website; both of those things I dislike. Nothing is special about it, except...

It's running on a laptop in my living room. There's a little Wireguard tunnel connecting it to a Hetzner server nearby. The packet routing should all be done in the kernel of both machines so it ought to be snappy.

I like the fact that that I'm sorta the one shaking hands with your HTTPS client when you connect. I like that the website goes down with a power outage. Maybe I'll get a Honda generator. I plan on getting redundancy once Google Fiber is done installing in our neighborhood.

Wowfunhappy5• 4 years ago

https://jonathanalland.com

I’m actually really proud of it—I love the way it looks and feels. I wanted the site to be playful but still professional, and to feel "modern" without being flat. Feel free to tell me how I did.

Everything is handwritten HTML + CSS + Javascript; I avoided even using a build system. I did use some tiny Javascript libraries, but I gave myself a limit: the site had to contain more bytes of my own code than other people's code.

The site also supports back to IE11 and Safari 6, as long as Javascript is turned on. (And it works without Javascript in modern browsers.)

varun_ch3• 4 years ago

I think it's really cool! I like how the buttons are like more modern versions of old MacOS buttons!

I wish modern design practices didn't make it so button-y buttons look out of place. We've really lost a lot of accessibility with everything using minimal styling for buttons.

MaxLeiter11• 4 years ago

I like it! One note though, you may want to disable/lessen the animations when reduced motion is enabled

Wowfunhappy5• 4 years ago

I need to revisit reduced motion at some point. I took it out because it was causing problems in an ancient version of Safari (which I have to support because I want to and it's my website).

MrWiffles• 4 years ago

Exceptionally well-written! And even more heartbreaking. Something similar happened to me in high school. It didn’t get to me nearly as much as it did to this person, but i still wonder if maybe I’d kept in touch with…let’s call him “Brad”, whether i might have been able to keep him from putting that gun in his mouth at age 19.

But i was only 16 at the time, and hadn’t seen him in years because our dads had a major falling out (totally my dad’s fault). I had no idea anything was going on until my dad called his the morning he’d seen Brad’s obituary in the paper. First time they’d talked since they nearly came to blows 3 years prior.

That’s the trickiest thing about suicidal people: you never know they’re in enough pain to really do it until it’s too late.

caslon2• 4 years ago

Your writing is really incredible.

Wowfunhappy5• 4 years ago

My current problem is, the two pieces I have right now were so much work, and are so polished, that I can't bring myself to add any new writing, because it wouldn't live up to what I have. Some day...

So when people ask me the different ways to contact me, instead of giving them a list of usernames on social media, email address, etc...i just tell them to go to mxuribe.com - which shows the places where i live online, and how to reach me. I would call the site minimal/basic...but really because i lack the energy/desire to enhance the design of the site.

Artisanal hand-crafted CSS on a mix of hand-written HTML and Markdown-to-templated-HTML pages, with a webserver I wrote myself in Go (well, stitched together the standard library HTTP code myself...)

It took a bit of fussing to find CSS settings which would scale nicely on mobile and look good on all sorts of devices, but I'm proud that my site degrades relatively gracefully and is readable in lynx, Plan 9's abaco browser, and a $20 feature phone's browser.

I wish I updated my blog more frequently, but there's a couple neat projects in there.

edit: i also made an effort a few years back to eliminate all external resources and javascript (web fonts, analytics, etc.), except where unavoidable (i.e. when I want to inline a Youtube video). I also took it out from behind Cloudflare, partly because they were injecting JS. I'm pleased with how it performs and how it's handled HN traffic on a couple front-page occasions.

This blog is statically generated by Hugo. It’s compiled and hosted by Cloudflare Pages, using GitHub for version control. Image files and other large assets are stored in BackBlaze B2 and served via Cloudflare.

I originally built it atop a functional Werc installation, but ultimately decided I would prefer static sites to running a server. Luckily, I stumbled across a port of the base Werc template and styles into Hugo’s templating system. From this I was able to port my own revisions and achieve a pleasing result, combining Werc’s aesthetic simplicity with my desire for a static site.

catpea• 4 years ago

https://www.catpea.com/ custom code exploring github editable data, that is then processed into a local .cache folder and made into an express (JS) website which I then spider to convert into a static version.

UI uses bootstrap with minor modifications.

Compilation is handeled via https://github.com/catpea/eternia which I can't replace with hugo, as I want to have a notion of books, playlists, maybe javascript apps in some articles. I need a custom static site generator.

I am learning how to Narrate audiobooks while reading my own poetry, and learning how to write out philosophical ideas in the process.

I also convert the audio into simple videos on youtube, and recently uploaded a 70+ hour behemoth to the Internet Archive (3.6GB) https://archive.org/details/@catpea-com

I recommend making an audio recording of your writings (I use audacity and a mic with a pop/plosive filer) even if just for your family for 50 or a 100 years from now.

I have no views, I have no time to argue with people which is why I keep away from social media, I only have time make a stranger laugh (I do digital portraits on reddit and occasionally compose a weird song on youtube).

As to the content it self, I am just exploring random subjects, that capture my own curiosity. It is nothing special, it will take me a couple more decades to grow into a writer. This is my start.

Currently I am babbling about digital painting, previously 3D Printing, Music Composition, Circuit Design, Programming, Teaching, Dancing (I dance to Blanco Brown https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7U6AoZ27yE at the gym every day I can't help it), Bicycling, Camping, and sending people on the Appalachian trail: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPSvdKTEZug

I host with vercel, as a hobby project. If you want to grab all the audio, use the archive.org or youtube. The archive.org link has everything one file, and youtube has a playlist you can hop around.

I am not a fan of ads, I understand YouTube maybe running their own ads on videos I did not monetize. If I recorded a video of my readings, and did video editing, I would regret putting all that time into videos that now would have ads between them.

I like being a narrator, not a fan of videos, decades from now I'll write an AudioBook, in which I complain about High School.

But the gist of it is pretty much what you'd expect from the site alone: lightweight, semantically correct, minimal Web pages.

snjy7• 4 years ago

Why don't you use markdown and convert it using pandoc or something. HTML files aren't really readable as notes.

igemnace2• 4 years ago

I actually address that directly in the blog post. I do use Markdown and Pandoc. But going extremely lean on the HTML, editing the documents directly is pretty refreshing. I'd go so far as to say it's a joy to do.

It's not quite mine (I share it with a friend), but it is our personal blog since we're anonymous. We write about scaling high-growth engineering and PM teams.

Tech stack is Jekyll with a minimalist theme that we liked (Hydeout). We've set up a continuous deployment pipeline via Gitlab. Sometimes, the engineer in me can't believe that we can have all of these things for free.

I used to use my blog for photography, but these days it's mostly just occasional thoughts and the picture part is largely unused or something meant to illustrate the article and not one of my photos, but the design still revolves around each post having an image:

It’s a retro experience with a text adventure game. I wrote it to prove to myself that I kinda knew WebGL after shutting down our browser gaming startup.

Only one person has beaten the game. Most don’t make it inside the building. Guess I’m not a great game designer ;)

fillskills• 4 years ago

Oh this is sooo nice!! Finally a break from templated internet and ads. Love how clean, simple, fast it is.

Game - I am bad at text adventure games so obviously gave up after a few tries

statico16• 4 years ago

Yeah, I get it. A lot of times it's all about guessing the right verb. There is a "help" command which has pointers on how to play (thanks to a handy "extended help" library for Inform7)

j1elo• 4 years ago

I guess most peoplw don't even try. It was almost trivial to get inside! :)

I'm curious if I skipped something or did as intented... Are you supposed to find the complete keypad number? (i.e. all 4 digits?)

hathawsh• 4 years ago

The game begins after you enter the building. I think you're supposed to "activate Ian's memories" using a port in the control room.

wanderer_5• 4 years ago

I'm kind of disappointed it didn't respond to "brute force it" when I got to the keypad.

statico16• 4 years ago

Lots of people try, but the clue you find wasn't obvious enough. I fixed that and also made the keypad a lot more intuitive. But, no, the entire keypad code isn't shown.

mataherry• 4 years ago

statico16• 4 years ago

Thanks! The game here is written in Inform7, and it was so difficult to make progress that it took me three years on and off to finish the game. So if you do it that way, beware :)

But I realized that trying to design a personal site is difficult because you're trying to design a website to fit what you've already done. There are a lot of things that didn't make it on my site or not in the ways I want, just because they don't fit nicely in the current sitemap.

Recently redesigned my blog to show previews of the posts before you read them.

ottobonn• 4 years ago

Those previews are great! I like that I can start reading the article before clicking it.

croshan4• 4 years ago

theandrewbailey2• 4 years ago

Yes, there is supposed to be black background text on a dark background. It's meant to add some texture. The real text is light green.

Looks as intended on Chrome and Firefox on Android. If it's still messed up, my site will work without javascript (the background text is added via script). I'm a big fan of uMatrix and NoScript extensions.

Originally built as a blosxom-powered blog in 2003, the site grew with a motley collection of perl and php scripts, as sites did back then. Then as social media came to prominence, I drifted away from my own site, as so many others did.

I spent much of the early pandemic rebuilding from the ground up with Django and Wagtail. Migrated the old content without breaking old links. Added some front-end niceties without breaking anything for non-JS visitors. Recently reached feature parity with the original site. Now I just need to figure out what I want to blog about. :)

donatj• 4 years ago

https://donatstudios.com

Professional blog I've ran for over 10 years now. Started it because I wanted to separate coding and more professional stuff from the rants of my personal blog.

For a while I used to get a pretty decent amount of side work from it just helping people with their Apache configs/mass redirects. Had a nice little cottage industry. It's mostly died off in the last couple years. Everyone moved to nginx?

It's built on a creaky but honestly very expressive PHP/MySQL framework I built for the company I worked for at the time, 10 years ago. Bits and pieces of it have been moved into a modern MVC and I've got a front controller that sends requests to the MVC, if that fails it falls back to the old framework. Works surprisingly well. There's also a handful of Go on the back end and the front end (WASM). It's a mess, but it's my mess. I know people like to use pre-packaged stuff these days but just fiddlin' with it is fun.

The layout of the homepage is currently a little stretched because I can't get the GitHub gists of the most recent post to behave. My homepage gets like no traffic though, so I'm not too worried. The individual page is on the other hand get quite a bit.

sciencemadness• 4 years ago

My site is sciencemadness.org. I started it when I was still an undergraduate some 20 years ago now (!). It's mostly about chemistry and nuclear technology. My personal interests include chemistry, nuclear power, nuclear weapons, materials science, and post-fossil energy in general. I don't get to do much with those interests at my job, though. I'm a software engineer like many others here.

Content on my site has been linked from here a bunch of times [1] -- most often, my scan of the book Ignition! An Informal History of Liquid Rocket Propellants by John D. Clark:

https://library.sciencemadness.org/library/books/ignition.pd...

But I'd suggest checking out the whole library, not just that one book:

https://library.sciencemadness.org/library/

Also the forum:

https://www.sciencemadness.org/whisper/

It used to be very simple to register but I got tired of the endless cat-and-mouse games with link spammers. Now you'll need to email to get an account, and I deal with the registration requests at irregular intervals. But there's no gatekeeping. You don't need any particular qualifications or background to join.

I mostly participate here on HN under another account name that I don't want linked to this one. My real life identity is easily derived from my web site and I don't want that linked to everything else I say on HN.

wooosh6• 4 years ago

https://wooo.sh/

Recently rewrote my old site after feeling limited by markdown and decided to start from a clean slate and write a blog engine in TCL.

Though I don't have a post up yet that uses any new features, it supports LaTeX without requiring client side JS, as well as collapsible elements.

It's also easy to add new types of content (such as a graphviz element), since an article is just a TCL script, for example:

https://github.com/wooosh/blog/blob/master/pages/articles/fr...

I intend to replace utteranc.es for comments with a self-hosted solution, as I'm not super happy with relying on an external resource without subresource-integrity, especially for something that requires login (making it a great target for phishing).

ccakes• 4 years ago

Upvoted for the TCL-based blog!

trevcanhuman2• 4 years ago

omg, you're 17! I am as well, see my comment [0].

the only thing I know about Tcl is that git uses the tcl language to generate the git gui and gitk programs.

[0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30939560

wooosh6• 4 years ago

Probably the most common way people interact with Tcl is through python, ironically. Tcl has a GUI library called Tk, through tkinter, available as part of the python standard library.

Outside of Tk, Tcl pops up in a couple of odd places, usually as part of some testing system (expect(1) and SQLite use it) or build system, though use has fallen off quite a bit since the 1990s.

Placing somewhere between a lisp and shell, it's incredibly effective as a language for gluing things together and creating DSLs, and is fairly easy to embed in a manner similar to Lua.

Definitely not a perfect language, but one that I find extremely comfortable to work in and iterate quickly for certain projects.

Antirez's blog has a pretty concise explanation of Tcl's features and what makes it special:

http://antirez.com/articoli/tclmisunderstood.html

JoelMcCracken• 4 years ago

I've felt the same restrictions, at first I built a version of my site using pollen; that had its issues, so I rewrote it into haskell (with an xml post format)

My main rationale for using XML for this is that

1. It was designed for it. (extensible markup!) 2. It has built-in considerations for things that could otherwise cause a more naive approach to have problems (for example, CDATA tag) 3. Other interesting features for this specific use case.

I don't love it, but it works OK. I might end up making a little less-verbose DSL which makes writing it a bit nicer, but actually converts to XML on a pass-through.

Anyway, shoot me an email if you want to compare notes on the topic. It seems like so many people are happy with markdown as an authoring format that its rare to meet people who see the problems.

I'm a Philosophy student, and I keep a blog where I post essays on Philosophy and Computer Science- as well as the fun that results in their intersection.

https://shen.hong.io/

Lately, I've been playing around with the NixOS operating system, and I wrote a guide on Building a Philosophy Workstation with NixOS. In it, I document the process of setting up a computer for the use and practice of Philosophy:

https://shen.hong.io/nixos-for-philosophy-installing-firefox...

Although I wrote the guide with Philosophy students in mind, it has a surprising amount of overlap with software development and programming-- which will make it useful for Computer Science students as well.

For an example of a more straightforward work on philosophy, I wrote a dialogue on the metaphysics of being, using an analogy with chess and cryptography:

djbeadle• 4 years ago

I've been experimenting with a static-site generator for the photography half of my website trying to make the process of getting the photos off my camera and laid out in a cohesive form easier. I've tried to minimize my use of Javascript and lean on modern HTML features to keep my images high quality but fast loading (Primarily by using <srcset> instead of <img>)

Most posts are laid out by hand like this one: https://danielbeadle.net/photo/Ample-Hills-Bike-Tour.html

Posts are written in Markdown with some custom syntax

  [[
   This is place for a title
   This is a place for a description
   2021-01-02
   DSC_0443.jpg
   full-width-image
  ]]

Two images juxtaposed next to each other (on desktop) can be formatted like this:

  [[
   Image #1 Title | Image  #2 Title
   Image #1 Desc | Image #2 Desc
   2021-01-02 | 2021-01-02
   DSC_0454.jpg|DSC_0465.jpg
   side-by-side|side-by-side
  ]]

This format works well for storing my website in Git, and of course the resulting HTML files can be exported anywhere, but it's much more fun to lay out images visually. I've built a quick and dirty little layout tool for that: https://danielbeadle.net/photo/author/

This tooling isn't in a state to be used by anyone else but if you've been thinking about photo-first blogging please chime in!

I mostly use it as a place to write up my notes about whatever I was working on that day, with typical topics covering things such as embedded software, TrueNAS and Python.

One time I was searching online trying to solve a programming problem, when the 2nd result was a post by myself from 8 months earlier, in which I wrote about how to solve that exact problem!

Ideally I'd like my website to be useful to others too. In recent years I've received one email from an individual saying they found one of my notes helpful, which made my day. It makes me think I should drop a note of thanks next time I find someone else's personal website useful.

In future I plan to use my website to host the video games I made when I was younger. I've just put one up so far.

The background is neural cellular automata (https://distill.pub/2020/growing-ca/) and the quotes is GPT-J (https://huggingface.co/EleutherAI/gpt-j-6B).

kaesve3• 4 years ago

is the cellular automata tiled? Did you implement it yourself, or did you grab an existing one? Did you have to do any work to get it to run so smooth? It's very cool.

And GPT-J -- are you running it yourself? Or are you using a hosted API somewhere?

almostdigital2• 4 years ago

Thanks! No, I just tweaked the implementation that came with the paper, it had a WebGL renderer already.

I ran the GPT-J inference myself but it's not live on the server, it just has a 20mb text file of pre-generated quotes it samples from :)

Who on earth would take industrial CNC servos, wire 9 of them up to a hunk of metal, sit in it (at a non-zero risk of something electrically going wrong) and get thrown around on race car sims. Spending way too much mental energy than is healthy on car simulators, I designed a "G-Seat" and put the plans up on Github.

The late '90s version kludged a color-coded two-level tab site-wide navigation scheme out of `table` elements, no images. The only remaining example (with tab text removed) is: https://www.neilvandyke.org/lab-linux-1999/

wooosh6• 4 years ago

Wow, that's held up really well for being a couple of decades old. I really like the 2 column layout, makes it really easy to skim sections.

The format of your machine learning notes is also nice, I like the loose structure of it.

The colorscheme is also pleasant, nice to see something that isn't the typical light/dark mode, though you may want to change the color of your copyright notice though, it has very low contrast with the background.

lbrito2• 4 years ago

Its heartwarming to see these personal sites/blogs.

I really enjoy this kind of enthusiasm, interest and curiosity about tech things, and personally I feel like there's been continuously less of that in my peers at every day job.

Also, people (myself included) complain that "web 1.0 is gone" and so on, but here are the survivors of that era.

wooosh6• 4 years ago

Yeah, I feel similarly. I think one of the major issues is that niche forums seem to have disappeared almost entirely, and most people discover new pages through through a couple of fairly large, impersonal, content aggregators, so you see this sort of personal "web 1.0"-esque content much less often, even if they still exist.

sircastor3• 4 years ago

so you see this sort of personal "web 1.0"

Reading this reminded me that we already have a distributed web that works really well. It’s been overshadowed by a bunch of massive sites for a while, but it’s still there.

banana_maker• 4 years ago

Here’s my personal site: https://andrewzah.com/

It’s statically compiled with Hugo. I switched from Zola due to lack of asciidoctor support. My focus is on minimalism, loading fast, and utilizing semantic html design for accessibility.

The sad thing is I’ve spent dozens more hours working on the code for this site than actually writing articles. (Counting the various migrations from Zola, etc).

I have some drafts for articles and a lot of technical stuff to discuss but I just have zero motivation to write these days. I’d rather practice guitar.

Basically a smorgasbord of articles I found online and things I actually wrote.

Mostly intended for personal consumption though, so I tend to intentionally break the site on a regular basis.

Everything here is written in Markdown / MDX. Hosting is done on cloud services (e.g. Google Drive, Dropbox, sometimes S3). All written in text editors, synced on the fly using either commands I built myself / the cloud service's desktop client.

No explicit build process before publishing, all markdown pages get converter on a per-request basis. That's why loading the page the first time could take a while.

Built mostly with Typescript, Next.js, Vercel, and Cloudflare.

http://gally.net/

I started this site in the late 1990s as a place to post personal projects—music, photographs, writing. I left it dormant for a long time, but last year, in a brief fit of energy, I redesigned it to make it display better on mobile devices.

Not long before I began the redesign, I read some advice on HN about keeping websites simple, so that’s what I tried to do with the page design and navigation. It’s all handcoded HTML with some simple CSS. The only JavaScript is short, handmade scripts in the headers of two of the photograph pages to randomize the photos that appear when the pages load.

Other than advertising some books I’ve written, I’ve never used this site for work. But just yesterday, I posted my CV to the About page—not to attract work, as I will be retiring soon, but as a record of my academic career.

xenodium• 4 years ago

https://xenodium.com

All posts are written to a giant org file.

https://github.com/xenodium/xenodium.github.io/blob/master/i...

This wasn’t by design but more accidental. The file started as my notes, and eventually exported it to html as a single page (using built-in export). That page grew too large over time, so I wrote some custom elisp code to split into multiple html pages served by GitHub pages:

https://github.com/xenodium/xenodium.github.io

The custom elisp code I wrote isn’t particularly elegant, pretty, nor reusable but does the job for me.

In short, it’s a frankenstenian hack of sorts I’ll likely regret at some point, but at the moment fairly maintenance-free.

I also got these pages for apps I built, just plain 'ol html:

I have a blog[0], I write stuff. I don't have a job yet but I blog about my personal life and on technical problems, feelings, and stuff.

I also have a website with other things here and there [5].

The blog itself is literally a git repository, browsable here[1]. Whenever I push, it runs a git hook that executes build commands. The blog is composed of markdown files.

All the blog can be rebuilt by following the instructions and is meant to be as platform-agnostic as possible, meaning you could host it under any webserver under any path, links are relative, etc.

The blog system I use is blogit [2]; originally created by Pedantic software but has been heavily modified by yours truly[4]. Under the hood it's literally a makefile, unix `sed,grep,etc` to make tagging and other static stuff. It uses the markdown parser discount[3] to parse markdown into html. It is fully static and you can deploy it and just put a simple python http server on it. I use lighttpd, because I have some services set up.

Just my blog. Nothing spectacular. Static site built with Hugo.

It's mostly devolved into a public notepad where I record things that I might want to refer later.

I wanted to update it more frequently, but blogworthy things don't seem to be happening (and as a rule I do not want to blog about work). Anyway, I do have plans to work on more interesting things, so it should get updated more frequently.

The theme for that site was also made by me, and it was available in the Hugo Themes showcase about 4 years ago. But I've left the theme stagnant, and I think it's now been removed from the showcase.

I was a student at the University of New Mexico and there's a secret post (you wouldn't find the link if you navigate the site the usual way) here at https://arjkb.gitlab.io/unm-guide/

People intending to go to UNM frequently asked me about how it's like over there, so I wrote this to distribute it to those people. It might be interesting to understand how things Americans take for granted might be not so obvious to foreigners.

Thoughts on doing this on a monthly basis like we do for Who's Hiring and Who Wants to Be Hired? (Or yearly, if monthly is too much?)

Seirdy• 4 years ago

https://seirdy.one/

Seems like a really simple site that uses a mix of browser defaults with light CSS enhancements, but I put about 13k words of thought into it:

https://seirdy.one/2020/11/23/website-best-practices.html

It's really hard to get a site to work well on a <2-inch (<5cm) viewport with switch access for astigmatic colorblind users on a feature phone experiencing packet loss, but I think I pulled it off nicely. CSS-optional, no JS (blocked by CSP).

Also has mirrors to a Tor hidden Web service and a Gemini capsule, all hosted on the same VPS.

I like the "small web" and joined a few webrings (and Gemini orbits), and try to make this static site a member of the IndieWeb.

Bookmarks are generated from my bookmarks manager, WIP music ratings from MPD coming soon.

An incomplete list of use-cases I tried to accommodate:

- Screen readers

- Switch access

- Keyboard navigation, with the Tab key or caret navigation

- Navigating with hand-tremors

- Content extraction (e.g. “Reader Mode”)

- Low-bandwidth connections

- Unreliable, lossy connections

- Metered connections

- Hostile networks

- Downloading offline copies

- Very narrow viewports (much narrower than a phablet)

- Mobile devices in landscape mode

- Frequent window-resizers (e.g. users of tiled-window setups)

- Printouts, especially when paper and ink are rationed (common in schools)

- Textual browsers

- Uncommon graphical browsers

- the Tor Browser (separate from “uncommon browsers” because of how “safest” mode is often incompatible with progressive enhancement and graceful degradation)

- Disabling JavaScript (overlaps with the Tor Browser)

- Non-default color palettes

- Aggressive content blocking (e.g. blocking all third-party content, frames, images, and cookies)

- User-selected custom fonts

- Stylesheet removal, alteration, or replacement

- Machine translation to right-to-left languages

For some reason I keep seeing people on HN showing their sites that recreate desktop environments—almost always in the style of Windows, and frequently in the 90s ‘concrete slabs’ look.

It's gonna be hard to beat https://www.windows93.net, though.

P.S. BTW, using PCjs one can actually run Windows 1 to 95 in the browser (and a bunch of other OSes). Alternatively, there's Dosbox—which Archive.org uses for emulation in the browser, and which likewise can run some versions of Windows. So one could really make their site as proper files in the virtual computer, though loading is gonna be a bit rough.

DustinBrett26• 4 years ago

Agreed that Windows 93 is a hard one to beat. My plan is to try and beat them all eventually, but I am patient and enjoy making the app. I've had this idea for quite a while but only in the last few years felt confident enough in my skills to attempt it.

As for more sites recreating the web desktop idea, here is a great list:

https://meipouchou.com/

Static HTML/CSS/JS generated by custom python scripts. No tracking, though I guess the server gets IP addresses and HTTP headers.

I made it to host a web novel I wrote. I wanted to do it without JavaScript, but HTML and CSS weren't sufficient to generate responsive sidenotes that lined up with the text on desktop, and collapsed into popovers at smaller widths.

I wrote the novel in a traditional word processor, then wrote an App to convert each chapter to HTML. The app helped to format the notes and read the text using text-to-speech to help pace my proofreading. The python scripts then take the output of this app and insert headers/footers and generate RSS entries.

I've also started a blog section on the site. There's only one post there now, but I have a few ides for more posts I want to add.

Mostly I'm happy with Squarespace, though it involves a lot of manual typesetting to work around various unclear escaping that happens in the Markdown parsing. Still better than the hassle of hosting something custom for me.

My CMS is just Github basically, you can basically read and navigate the files in Github with very little content loss:

Of course since I'm also a procrastinator, I haven't written much.

I use it myself daily to receive a chronological feed aggregating notifications from GitHub and Gerrit. I’m pretty happy to rely on that and not need to receive notifications via email or by visiting multiple web UIs.

It also hosts my newer (though also more rare) personal Go packages, serving them via a custom implementation of the module proxy protocol in addition to a git server, an issue tracker, and most recently a simple code review system (see https://dmitri.shuralyov.com/go/generated$changes/1). Supports logging in via the IndieAuth protocol—try entering your website's URL at https://dmitri.shuralyov.com/login.

Source code is at https://github.com/shurcooL/home, though some WIP changes aren’t there yet, and I should really move it to be hosted on my personal site for more dogfooding. One day.

desttro• 4 years ago

This may be a naive question, but how does being a full time open source contributor work and how do you get paid?

dmitshur2• 4 years ago

There are more ways to go about it than I can describe in this reply. In my case, it was a 1.5 year stint, I funded it with my own savings and didn't have external income during that time. So I was paying myself which isn't sustainable long-term, but on the upside I got to do exactly what I wanted without external constraints. It was fun and fulfilling, with some nuanced downsides towards the end. After that, I got a paying job again (though one where I get to do more of what I wanted to do).

If you want more of my perspective, see https://dmitri.shuralyov.com/talks/2018/journey-in-software-... and https://changelog.com/gotime/58. But there are plenty of varied resources on this topic if you just search around.

edit: If there is no one else there, you can just open another browser to be able to see the multiplayer working. Every player is a randomly colored drone orb thing.

I used to run this on wordpress when it was first released. Built a few terrible looking themes for it too. This was a redesign from that time. It was doing using the YUI toolkit. Phones were not a thing then so I didn't consider that. Many of the ideas were taken from snippets of CSS Zen Garden. It's generated using Jekyll and has disqus for comments. I wrote an emacs mode https://github.com/nibrahim/Hyde to manage the blog. Much of the content is outdated. I don't actively blog anymore.

This is hosted on a shared hosting service called hcoop which I got onto in 2001 or so and have been on ever since. The domains were registered on an Indian registrar (net4) which went under and I migrated them to namecheap a month or two ago.

My personal site has programming, music, blog articles, fiction and more. It has an achievement system, a guestbook, a retro games section, and a ton of little knickknacks and easter eggs I've added over the years! I recently drew and added a mascot, the bird-fox. The whole site is based on a custom Jekyll theme.

A personal blog mostly in Hungarian, lately some English posts which is far from perfect, but some might find useful if a search engine honor the site.

It's 16 years old, started with drupal, then some years ago I changed to metalsmith [1], because the content isn't dynamic at all, and it was fun to try something new. I also started to move to hugo, but they didn't merge the pr [2] which would have helped in the transition. :(

The look is still similar to what it was in the beginning, in terms of colors at least.

Reverse engineering algorithms and results from papers. I love the process of walking backwards from the results and figure out how they were achieved, uncovering what the authors glanced over or failed to mention at all.

ciprian_craciun5• 4 years ago

Very nice look-and-feel! It resembles perfectly reading a scientific paper (but without double columns and zig-zag scrolling through PDF)!

The text is perhaps a little bit too small by default, but nothing that can't be solved with some zooming.

The only downside is that formula rendering requires JavaScript. :(

(I would love to see a proper, and simple solution, to rendering mathematical formulas without JavaScript...)

Kind of obvious, I guess. Nothing of note at the moment. Clean slate.

Thinking about what to do with it. Will likely end-up being a web version of my fairly large repository of engineering notes and data across innumerable disciplines.

Not sure what platform to use. I don't want to use Wordpress. What would you use for something like this (considering I am extremely busy)? In other words, some kind of a easy to deploy, manage and maintain personal-made-public knowledge management system.

I know. I know. Someone is going to say "Use WP with this plugin".

I would enjoy being able to bring some of the material to life beyond simple display using Python. This would call for Django and something for the front end. I'm just not sure I have the time to do this right now. Maybe I should wait.

My material spans hundreds of gigabytes of notes and documents accumulated over the last thirty years as well as tons of notes in dozens of OneNote repositories. There's also lots of useful engineering tools in Excel, VBA, VB, C, C++, Python, even Forth, LISP and APL. At some point I'd like to share a good deal of it. Just not sure how to start this on the right path.

I like blogging but I hated having to blog using markdown or via Wordpress’s horrible editor or some other blogging platform’s flow.

I was anyway playing around with building my own email inbox when I realized emails written in Gmail yield HTML which could be repurposed to post blogs.

I released an early version of this at https://moogle.cc around the same time Hey.com was launching Hey World built around the same idea.

Now, my inbox has evolved and so has the tooling for the blog. The newer product combining the inbox and blog is at https://pretzelbox.cc.

This is my (new) personal blog (i.e. rants), notes, remarks, snippets, etc. It's doesn't (yet) hold too much content, mainly because publishing something requires time to polish the text, but I do keep adding to it...

Regarding the look-and-feel, I try to keep it as minimalist as possible, while also having some personal style; it even works in Netsurf. But, if one doesn't like that style, one can just use the `View -> Page Style -> No Style` option (at least in Firefox) and things should still look OK.

Also I've made sure that it looks acceptable even in console browsers such as `lynx`, `links`, `w3m`, etc.

Would you be so kind to also share the raw data? (Especially the links that you've collected?)

Also it would be nice to also assess the following:

* how many require JavaScript to actually display something; (i.e. opening them without JavaScript yields an empty page, or just an "enable JS to work" message;)

* how many have an RSS feed;

* how many are readable in a console browser such as `lynx`;

I see you have `RE` articles! I love this idea (and in fact I use this myself)!

I think if someone has something to say about what someone else has written, then the best way to do so is by writing another document, linking to the original one, and then laying the remarks.

Not only does it help the original article in SEO ranking, but it also helps build the "decentralized web" that I hear being talked about, but this way without any block-chain-BS...

A little zine book on Consul I had written last year (it's free, btw) - https://vishaltelangre.com/books/consul.

Also, the site lists some fun projects I have written in my spare time (in many languages such as Rust, Swift, Elm, Elixir, Go, Ruby and JavaScript). For e.g. https://old-version.vishaltelangre.com has a REPL like interactive interface written in Elm; GitHub link can be found using one of the commands.

lionkor2• 4 years ago

url redirect, i guess, or just migrate your domain to a DNS that actually supports everything, like hetzner. You'll just have to change the nameservers.

Academic turned startup founder (https://twitter.com/mizzao/status/1505529213612609536), so the content that was once academic self-promotion doesn't really know what it should do.

Perhaps the most interesting aspect of this site is the resume that I used to generate using CSS and Jekyll's build process (https://www.andrewmao.net/resume): when someone would ask me for a PDF I'd just do "save as PDF" in Chrome and twiddle the margins a bit. I got tired of using LaTeX.

(I say "used to" because as a founder the resume doesn't matter anymore)

I write stories to teach Japanese without relying on translation (like the lingua latina per se illustrata). I have been working on it almost every day for the past 3 years. I am so proud of the result. Every page solves the tiny problem of introducing a few new words in context. That's not hard per se but the accumulation of these makes the result unique.

Thanks for the kind word. It's not the first time I have been suggested to add some audio. I am not against the idea but I'd rather focus my time on creating content. Also I believe some browser extensions such as this one can do it https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/rikaikun/jipdnfibh...

Brystephor2• 4 years ago

This seems like it could be great to explore a new city, especially if you can randomize trips somewhat. Eg there's 4 options for a starting point, then 3 options for the next point, etc and when you get treasure-map, it's somewhat unique in that it randomly picked each spot.

digitaltom3• 4 years ago

We've looked into this somewhat as you could make basically make it a path finding problem.

The difficulty is creating the paths from A to B that feel worthy of being chosen e.g. taking a path that goes through quirky (potentially unmarked) alleyways, rather than going along the main road to the crossroad and turn left etc.

A lot of thought goes into choosing paths and locations that really set the scene, especially in the narrative based games!

Would to hear more thoughts on this though as it could be a nice pre-process to do and then refine

What's wrong with the current theme? I quite like the simplicity. It's easy to navigate and read and it doesn't feel bloated like a lot of websites do.

The theme does what it needs to, so I'd only change it if you want to make it more fun for _you_, or make it feel more personal to you -- and in that case it's 100% personal what you go for.

labarilem2• 4 years ago

I was doubting it's easy to read.

My current project is https://neonarcade.games, a collection of silly casual games. 90% of the motivation to make these games is to have fun in the process, so the focus is on funny ideas and DX over UX and good game design. The canvas api is excellent for these kinds of projects, and you really don't need much more. Most games I make start as a single HTML file and a math.js, which I regularly start from scratch, and I often use emoji as a proxy for real sprites.

Though the focus is on making, I have been playing my own minesweeper clone almost every day. In some sense, that makes it my most successful side project to date.

I have a blog[0] where I talk about whatever, usually tech related, but quite rarely. It uses my own blog engine[1] but since that's kind of a mess I just had the thought of remaking it, once again. It has very little JS and I'm quite proud of the syntax highlighting and comments (and thus Disqus tracking) being opt-in. Actually I'm more proud of the tech than the writing on the site. :D

It runs on Elixir and I write blog posts by editing Markdown files over SFTP and calling a certain function on the blog instance to reload the files.

boriskourt• 4 years ago

Rolled my own static site generator in Clojure and have been updating it over the past four years. Its full of overly specific automations that make updating easier for me. One of the goals was to not use javascript, in order to make it extremely archivable, while still having a look that is interesting to me.

The only reason it is not open source is that most features are only related to me. I have some mini 'easter eggs' in there, and more to hopefully come. As well as some generative content that changes each time I make an update. I would call the codebase 'rustic' :)

Built with Eleventy, hosted on GitHub Pages. I’ve had more polished looking sites, but I’m having fun with it and trying not to take myself too seriously.

For dev, it gets rebuilt locally after every file change (Eleventy's file watching and live refresh is awesome). For prod, it gets built on GitHub by Actions after every push. That way I can make quick updates using GitHub's editor on-the-go if I need to.

I write about sysadmin/sewing/running/outdoors/whatever else interests me.

I've been starting to write more about React and TypeScript. I've been slowly creating a guide to walk coworkers through the technologies.

It's generally a terrible idea to write your own website to do this instead of just using a blogging platform. It's been fun to deeply customize some things (iFrames for mini browsers showing React code), but writing the code to send out half decent emails has been a nightmare (https://github.com/ethanmick/ethanmick.com/blob/main/pages/e...). Anyways, any feedback is appreciated!

My personal website, effectively what I wish I had when I was younger, but more professionally tuned now.

Content overall is sparse as I'm in the midst of a major project before traveling, and my documents are scattered between Zim and random folders. Really looking forward though to publishing some of the writings I Have in my Zim drafts area.

(Also, I'm not sure why but mobile formatting doesn't seem to work properly on some phones, compared to the source css from benharr.is. if anyone can point out why, it would be great to resolve that)

All my old coding projects. Static HTML generated from XML files with XQuery implemented in Pascal. Before that I was generating it with a custom Java-based generator language, which had a rudimentary version of functions, loops, and XPath, but mostly did string concatenation. Before that I had a Delphi-based generator, which only did string replacement, to create the same HTML layout. Is it not interesting that I ported it from Pascal to Java back to Pascal, because Pascal had much better performance than Java?

I've been working on it on and off for a while. What I'm thrilled about is the fact that is has no JavaScript! It is very simple and has a small size!

asmr• 4 years ago

It's not much. I mainly created it for a small project that gained some traction a few years back. I plan on building a small portfolio soon and to start blogging.

ghoward• 4 years ago

Mine is https://gavinhoward.com/ . Built with an SSG. Browsable with no JavaScript. (JS is used for things like hiding Tables of Content, or matching podcast sound with a transcript, etc.) I use compression to make every page as small as possible.

kkfx• 4 years ago

kfx.fr but it's a created and essentially never populated web 1.0 site, my goal was and still is in my loooooooong wishlist a website readable with links2/w3m/eww etc normally used via RSS not by direct visits and backed by org-mode but still manually-created html/no js.

Built with Hugo and deployed with GitHub Pages.

nosecreek2• 4 years ago

Heads up, it's giving me a "Your connection is not private" warning on both Chrome and Safari iOS

bgrnwd3• 4 years ago

Thanks for the heads up, looks like "Enforce HTTPS" became unchecked for GH Pages. Digging in to why.

- Hosted on GH pages/backed by Cloudflare

It's nothing much. I use the same webserver for my mail, personal git hosting, persistent irc. I also use it to host some static content, like videos, for friends and family.

I like web development as much as a caveman likes banging rocks together to make a fire: I just want it to work. I don't bother with some static site generator or whatever. It's just handwritten html and some googled css, served by nginx.

Actually re-published today after spending way too much time tweaking with minimalist design. (any other perfectionist here?)

Will host technical writing and travel/digital-nomad reflections.

Made with Hugo and a custom theme.

tapanjk3• 4 years ago

any other perfectionist here?

You decide: https://karecha.com

dgnemo4• 4 years ago

I love it! Great content too!

It definitely takes extra effort to remove the unnecessary and identify what actually brings value in the design, and in the content.

abhayhegde3• 4 years ago

Looks very nice! As a fan of minimalist, I would really like to see the code. If possible, could you drop the link to repo? No worries otherwise.

dgnemo4• 4 years ago

I'm glad you like it! code is still private, but I do want to publish it soon

(together with a small change I made to Hugo to strip the '.html' extension from the page names)

bichiliad• 4 years ago

I have a small personal website where I write mostly about self-hosting and homelab stuff, kubernetes and have a couple small tutorial series. It's nothing impressive and I've neglected it in the last half a year or so due to university taking up almost all of my time. Also thinking of opening a tidbits section where it's small things I learn instead of waiting to finish something I'm doing and then writing about it.

sudcha2• 4 years ago

It's designed as a modern take on 20th century newspapers.

It took several over a dozen iterations spanning two months for me to settle on this one.

I realized much later that the recruiters don't really care about the portfolio, as much they do about the keywords in resume.

But that's just the main site / long-form writing. My most active site is https://books.rixx.de (all my book reviews, static site built off Markdown + frontmatter), and then there's https://ramble.rixx.de for experimental writing, https://dev.rixx.de as CV and customer pitch, https://fernweh.rixx.de to plan upcoming trips … making small subdomain-scoped projects is a lot of fun.

nop_slide• 4 years ago

Wow your books section is really awesome. I had the same idea of a virtual shelf like that! Do you happen to have any code to share?

Unrelated, how do you read so much! I'm impressed by the quantity.

spickermann• 4 years ago

The design is several years old. I guess I should spend some time on re-designing it. On the other hand, it is not really useful and has only few visits by people who search for my name on Google.

zeagle2• 4 years ago

I rather like that design. I've been looking through this thread on ideas on what to do with my personal site and might do something similar. Thank you for sharing!

My home on the Internet. I actually don't have my own place in real life. This website fulfills a deep desire of ownership. So, I built it (from a fork on GitHub) as minimal and as light as I can for less maintenance. Serves also as the place to aggregate all my online presence, to list some software projects and to host a detailed CV.

Shalomboy• 4 years ago

honestly not hugely proud of the front fascia, but the utility of having 'unlimited storage' and subdomains through dreamhost has been a boon. https://cliff.fish If you need somebody to talk to my email is always open.

I recreated my blog when I was exploring Next.js a while ago, but it's been around for years before that.

There's nothing fancy. I enjoy writing using Markdown + MDX and the freedom it gives me to build and integrate custom React components in my articles. I try to limit their use though as it makes it harder to cross-post articles.

I tried to make the minimalistic without losing style. So they look like a terminal and a very old computer respectively.
