code comments were honestly the best and i hate how nobody does this anymore in the era of generators.

[-] mhzawadi@lemmy.horwood.cloud 1 points 10 months ago

thats cool, but it doesnt give you ascii are when you curl the site

[-] Malix@sopuli.xyz 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

huh? or did I miss something here?

edit: or are plain-text curlable websites a feature I'm not aware of? Or curl'ers use some striptags feature?

[-] mhzawadi@lemmy.horwood.cloud 3 points 10 months ago

I have code on my site that returns ASCII are, only if you curl it.

At work my site had used as a working test

curl horwood.biz

It is still out there, I have several customers depending on it. 15+ years stuff running over sco unix. Also stone-age php for good measure...

If you want to see more sites like this, check out neocities.

That has unironicaly made me nostalgic for the days when the web was a place of experimentation, joy and just a bit of crazy.

[-] Photuris@lemmy.ml 6 points 10 months ago

We have lost our way

[-] cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone 13 points 10 months ago

unironically that era of the web was best.

also netscape composer > frontpage :3

This is such a joy to behold

I remember that Publisher could make web pages too. How? Since it was supposed to be WYSIWYG it exported the entire thing as a single image and used an html image map for the links.

I don't think I can agree with that, and I'm a pretty agreeable chap.

In the days when people actually cared about the html layout and readability, FP spammed everything hugely, and inserted a lot of terrible cruft. Inventing zillions of new tags for everything, even when the user just wanted to italicise a word. Use a tag? No! We'll invent a whole new style class and embed it in the headers.

A few years ago I rather stupidly agreed to take over hosting of a website for someone that was dying. It had been written with FP and it took me months to de-cruft it using a lot of regexp and scrifting. (Some 8,000 images and around 2000 .html files).

Ah! The glory days!

[-] Im_old@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

I remember dreamweaver having plugins to remove frontpage bloated html

[-] cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 points 10 months ago

now we have ckeditor plugins to remove word bloat
