Websites have too much going on now a days.
There's social media, but you're restricted by their UI and algorithms.
So I am making mine like it's 1999. No need for any Node.js, Next, or React...
or this or that package. Just pure HTML, CSS, and Javascript.
I want to share my interest and write essays on here. I have journals filled with writing. This is a directory for me, my work, my thoughts, goals for the future, and memories of the past.
No chasing any views or likes. A digital journal. A homepage that is home.
This site is a lot too but in a different way. I am not the first person to feel this way and I have some site inspirations.
* This is a long one but I promise, it's worth the read.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
- Theodore Roosevelt, The Man In The Arena Speech (1910)
