@ajsadauskas@aus.social @asklemmy@lemmy.ml I think I actually have a few of my 90s-era sites archived. One of them should have an auto play midi for the background music. I'll see if I can dig it up!

You've got the under construction gif. Done.
@ajsadauskas@aus.social @asklemmy@lemmy.ml uh, nice vibes!
It has a cat gif I don't think it needs anything else I'm sorry

Under construction!
You need to offer something banal for download with a spinning stiffy disk gif.
@ajsadauskas @asklemmy You need to change the mouse cursor to anything but an arrow. Bonus points if it leaves a trail. Like a peace sign cursor that leaves a rainbow trail, or a clock face where the numbers fall off when it moves.
I miss midis.
I recommend a "gallery" of photos of whatever topic you want, but probably something obscure like your favorite McDonalds playgrounds or of you holding up fish you've caught. The resolution on the pictures can't more than 640x480 tho.
The cat art style doesnt look 90ish to me
You need to add some text with the RuneScape glow1:wave: text effect
@ajsadauskas @asklemmy
A little music player with a playlist that plays that eras music. Links to retro sites that no longer exist that actually work, that way we can bring the internet of the past back.
@ajsadauskas @neil @asklemmy Looks amazing!
My only question is about whether drop shadows on text was prominent. Iβm having trouble remembering how that effect would have been accomplished in the 90s, since I donβt think CSS got it until later. Would it have been something on the <font> tag only supported in Internet Explorer?
@ajsadauskas @neil @asklemmy As for chat, probably the best way to do that today is to use Web Sockets but style it to look like frames or a Java applet on the page.
Add a guest book a page vist counter and a web ring
Nice project. I like the nostalgia. π
After some searching I learned that Tripod and Angelfire still exist today as web hosting providers. Your page could have a few more Under construction signs here and there.
