| Element | Why |
|---|---|
| Comic Sans | Peak Geocities energy. Unironically signals “we don’t take ourselves too seriously” |
| Starfield background | Pure CSS radial gradients — no image files, no requests |
| No JavaScript | Faster than any React SPA. Works in Netscape Navigator 4.0 |
| Visitor counter | Hardcoded at 000042. Not dynamic. That’s the joke |
| Blinking cursor | CSS animation. The one piece of “motion” on the page |
| ”No trackers” badge | Earnest. The site literally cannot track you |
Future Ideas
- Add a real visitor counter (server-side or GoatCounter)
- Add a guestbook page (actual CGI or simulated)
- “Webring” links to other retro sites
- Animated GIF badges (“PARQUET NOW!”, “AI POWERED”)
- Replace PGP placeholder with actual key
- Set up solutions@igorai.info email forwarding
