Early Web Nostalgia

Man, that looks like a website I made back in 2001...

I’ve got flashbacks to the time when I started creating my first website at a young age in the 2000s. Flash was this unreachable height for me and I just started testing HTML and how the internet even works. Now I’m a full time software engineer and happy on how far the web has gone until today :)

Good memories to the time i start with web development in 2002/2003 and saw this site was created.

Takes me back to the days when I was 9 years old making websites on angelfire, geocities, etc.

Same case here. I built my first webpage in FrontPage hosted GeoCities[0] when I was 12 years old.I remember downloading "magic" scripts from Dynamic Drive[1] mainly I learned how to use tables in HTML and inline styles.I also had this prompt that asked for your name and the website displayed a welcome message.[0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahoo!_GeoCities

With my best friend, in our teenage we used to maintain our website using Netscape composer. I'm very surprised that it came out this year because I believe we started our website maybe before 1997, but don't remember using another tool.It was pretty easy to use for childs with zero help at all from adults. But was crashing pretty often (so where many apps in this era).The hard part for childs was to host the website, hopefully, in France was had the free hosting association myga

Here's mine: http://users.otenet.gr/~serafeim/old.htm - it's first version was from around 1998 when I was 16 years old so please don't be too judgmental :)It was just a bunch of static html pages that were uploaded through FTP to my internet provider's space. Funny thing - my internet provider still supports publishing home pages so the page remains active

This very website exists because this very thing was done 25 years ago!https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viaweb

Wow, blast from the past. Still remember implementing that on some of my first websites.

Fair enough. I actually was a kid in 1998. I believe I started “programming” HTML in 1997 or so (copying view source and uploading to my internet host). There were some cool things like Hot Wired and Suck.com (and the bus on the MSN splash page!), but it was just a vastly smaller space than now. Even Geocities doesn’t really make your cutoff, so it’s hard to compare.
