Comment on Ask HN: What do you fondly recall about the early days of the Internet?

Comments

I found the Internet already at the Polytechnic at the turn of the millennium, but it was the IRC, there were web chats, a lot of interesting independent resources from enthusiasts. Now I’m doing this, but I see that those who are nostalgic for those times mostly only talk about them, few people make pages in HTML3.2 and use clean code. I recently created a CMS that integrates both modern computers and those that existed then, you can administer the site even from an 8086 computer running DOS (I tried to do this, I can even show screenshots, but here answers with a link seem to be prohibited). I published CMS on various platforms, about a hundred platforms, on Github the HamsterCMS has already collected 35 stars, and I continue to develop it. A friend and I set up hosting where you can place such pages, the system is already pre-installed, you go to the admin panel and just create pages by choosing a template, and there are already half a hundred different templates. There is an imitation for retro, and simply adapted for Internet Explorer 5, and the Links browser for DOS. we are doing a lot to revive that Internet, and we want it to coexist with the modern one, and not go down in history as just screenshots on Wikipedia
