Might add something like that, but curated. Don't want it to be a spam vector.

You can find many of my actual pages from the 90s here: https://archive.groovy.net, so yeah, I was there. And yeah, it is definitely a fun parody/homage, not a recreation, so yeah, it for sure is contrived. I guess I never once used Comic Sans in the actual 90s, and was not a big user of the marquee tag or gifs.

It is intended to provide easy hosting, which many people need, and to encourage people to work on their own computer, rather than use web based tools, so it will have upload/validation, etc, but never editing or change your html in any way.

Sure, that doesn’t change the impression I got though.

Sounds like a laudable service hope it helps people in the way you describe.

Hey Gary,,I'm Dmytri, no issue with any of the points, but I most definitely was there in the 90s, see dmytri.to, this is just a fun project for me because people still need easy hosting and I've been helping with that for decades.

Forgive me, but you can understand why from looking at the FAQ and content policies that someone would arrive at the conclusion.

The retro part is encouraging beginers to learn to edit html on their own computer, and quickly have a personal space.

Yes, I think that's an important part of the experience. One can edit some text, some CSS/JS if desired (optional), and immediately see the effect. Publish it and now your changes are global.

all good advice. however, depending on your setup there are often commands you need to use over and over again with sudo, for example, wifi-menu, starting openvpn, staring cups, as I use a very minimal setup with very little that happens automatically. This scripts is for these.

I agree that he has obviously missed the point of the article, however the post being "flagged" (censored) seems to have proven his point about Hacker News.

Yes, it does provide evidence, by citing Minksy: http://digitalcommons.bard.edu/hm_archive/429/

By the way, what does "flagged" mean above?

The article cites not only the proponents, like Friedman, but also Minsky, Kalecki, etc, that is merit.

Do you mean no studies other than the citation to Minsky who extensively shows just that? Here is the original paper: http://digitalcommons.bard.edu/hm_archive/429/
