web manifesto
I don't have anything super deep to put here - I was trying to make a link tree on carrd and it pissed me off when I couldn't do the simplest of things.
20 hours later I have a whole ass site...
After watching a bunch of youtube videos I've learned Neocities has a huge subculture around nostalgia for the old net, "internet revival", and going back to creating a space that's trully yours. So this site ended up having 8 times the content than originally intended and I had a lot of fun hyperfixating on it :)
It's neat to think about all the potential and what all I could use the site for in the future, seeing as how I can do just about anything.
So this is my little uninformed website "manifesto"
Design principles

Since the motivation to create this site was originally created by a hatred of carrd's limitations I started off trying to recreate what I had over there, but from scratch.
However after watching tons of "internet revival" type content I definitley strayed away from a strictly clean setup and let myself experiment more with where I put color, patterns, bold colors. The hd image in the background is pretty "modern" looking and perhaps too busy(?), but I really enjoy this sense of being surrounded by plants and warm light. Wasn't sure exactly how to recreate that in a more old school kinda way, but maybe I'll revisit it eventually.

Something I have planned is drawing or designing a new background image.
