What a throwback. I remember making little pages that looked like the site samples in HTML in high school, but web pages had already come a long way, so I never really felt like there was a point without having to learn a lot more.

This is amazing! I really liked learning about Russian encoding buttons. It’s a shame the tilde movement didn’t seem to go anywhere.
