Why is this website so bland?
We think the modern web is over-blown with useless excess and there is too much focus on presenting every web site as a "web app".
Developers all over the world think way too much about the form, rather than content. For a simple organizational website like this one, does one truly need to use React, Vue, Angular, PHP, Laravel or <insert-any-technology-here>?
We are proud to say this website is nothing but pure HTML running on nginx without any interpreter (like PHP) running on the back-end.
Our "software philosophy"
Sounds kind of cheeky and cringey if we put it that way, but there is a certain "philosophy" we hold when it comes to software.
- System resources are not infinite! One should at least attempt to write code that's as resource efficient as possible.
- JavaScript is not the future! Web-based desktop applications are simply over-blown and wasteful.
- UI should be presentable! It doesn't have to be beautiful and designed by an actual designer, but through consistency and attention to detail you can attain good aesthethics.
- Don't re-invent the wheel! If a library exists or if your language provides a solution - use that instead of writing your own implementation from scratch. Unless of course your aim is to improve it.
