I think I finally have a plan and structure to have a personal site/blog. No structure! I'm just hand-rolling html/css/js with the help of ChatGPT4 and keeping things largely self-contained per page. Every post is a new adventure.
This post is interactive rather than technical, so I thought it would be well suited for ~creative. It doesn't work too well on touchscreens though.

I do like the idea that you don't have to follow best practices. I often am nostalgic for the geocities days where it was just a mess of whatever you wanted.

I'm actually having a lot of fun figuring out self-hosting! The site's running in a docker container on my Linux home server box. I want to be able to control the whole stack so I can more easily iterate on interactive experiments (integrating LLMs for example).
If all you need is a place for creative websites, that looks awesome.
Save for a few years ago, I think the limit was 100MB. I don't have the supporter tier, which allots 20GB, but I find the default to be well under the limits for my personal tastes.

I like the random highlighting of words, but I've been up for 24 hrs and thought it was me being sleep deprived lmao

Neocities is a thing, going on around a decade online or so. All the basic HTML/CSS/JS you could ever want - provided it's all under 1GB.

I'm too young to be nostalgic, but man I wish I had grown up in that era.
I love it.
There's actually a movement building around this same concept. They call them Web Gardens
