- <p>Hello, world!</p>
+ <header>
+ <h1>Why This Site Exists</h2>
+ <hr>
+ </header>
+
+ <p>
+ Most of the modern Web sucks. This is my futile attempt at changing that.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ Many sites these days try to solve problems that don't exist using improper
+ tools and techniques to do so. The classic example is JavaScript;
+ client-side scripting can be quite useful <em>in certain situations</em>.
+ The problem, however, is that most situations are not these situations.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ The vast majority of websites could be simple HTML( + CSS) pages and gain all
+ the benefits that go along with that, namely <em>simplicity</em>,
+ <em>speed/performance</em> and
+ <a href="http://harmful.cat-v.org/Blog/2015/04/24/0/">
+ <em>reliability</em></a>.
+ Instead, people choose to complicate things.
+ </p>
+
+ <blockquote><p>"Install this plugin!"</p></blockquote>
+ <blockquote><p>"Use this framework!"</p></blockquote>
+
+ <p>
+ Rather than fixing the underlying problem by stripping back the layers to
+ find that we really just want to render some HTML, we instead pile more
+ on top, obscuring and worsening whatever problem we think we're trying to
+ solve.
+ </p>
+
+ <blockquote cite="https://suckless.org/sucks/web/">
+ <p>
+ "Millions of jobs are based on outputting HTML in an inefficient way."
+ </p>
+ <p>&mdash; <a href="https://suckless.org/sucks/web/">suckless.org</a></p>
+ </blockquote>
+
+ <p>
+ Some common excuses for "I need to use x:"
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ "It's responsive"
+ <br>
+ <p style="margin: 0px;" class="hanging-indent">
+ Setting this meta tag:
+ <code data-lang="html">
+ <span class="t">&lt;<span class="e">meta</span>
+ <span class="an">name</span>=<span class="av">"viewport"</span>
+ <span class="an">content</span>=<span class="av">"width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"</span>&gt;
+ </span>
+ </code>
+ along with some very basic CSS is all that's required for a
+ responsive site that looks good on any screen.
+ </p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ "It looks nicer"
+ <p style="margin: 0px;" class="hanging-indent">
+ Java<em>Script</em>. Cascading
+ <em>Style</em> Sheets. See the problem?
+ Don't use scripts for styling. Also, no, it doesn't look nicer.
+ </p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ "It's makes for a better user experience"
+ <p style="margin: 0px" class="hanging-indent">
+ If you like waiting seconds for a page to load before scrolling an
+ entire screen height with a parallaxed background just to read two
+ words then yes, that is a good experience.
+ Personally, I would rather not have to hover my cursor through a maze
+ of eight nested, animated drop-down menus while being bombarded by
+ popups asking for personal information and telling me that the site
+ uses
+ <a href="https://lcamtuf.blogspot.com/2010/10/http-cookies-or-how-not-to-design.html">
+ cookies</a>.
+ </p>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </p>
+
+ <header>
+ <h1>What Can We Do?</h1>
+ <hr>
+ </header>
+
+ <p>
+ Start your own website where you can complain about stuff too! Anyone can
+ and everyone should. With
+ <a href="https://landchad.net">all the information that's out there</a>
+ it's never been easier to help fix the Web by creating your own site.
+
+ <p>
+ You can read the boring technical details of how this site is implemented
+ <a href="/software/samanthony.xyz">here</a>.
