I scroll.
Sigh. Another lie.
I remember when the internet felt creative when it was something people built just to express themselves. Now, wherever you go, it feels like everyone’s fighting for your attention, just to feed you another piece of misinformation.
That’s why I stopped scrolling. I started looking for something that still carried that early internet feeling, something with a bit of originality, a bit of sincerity.
That’s when I found these old-school sites on Neocities.
And it was exactly what I’d been looking for.
I’d been losing interest in web development because of AI, but this brought it back. It made me want to build something again. Something that felt like mine.
Something that simply exists, without trying to pull me in.
