I went down the same rabbit hole and did the exact same thing last week in a fit of procrastination. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46185128

Would appreciate a shout-out if you saw it and were inspired, otherwise it's nice to see others converging independently on the same thing.

Oh wow! Did not know that—I went off the original post by Greg and he mentioned to me after I sent him this link that someone looked at Common Crawl as well.

Either way, I updated both the git and the webpage to shout-out the week-before-this findings! I linked directly to your website, lmk if that's how you prefer it.

Cheers!

Raw colors are not the whole story. Font weight matters too. Being just on this side of passing the check is also not great, just better than bad.

Ambient lighting and display quality matter a lot too.

Okay, any specific feedback, then? Not seeing it (shrug)—I like how it feels.

love these, wonder what avenues still exist for the image archives

I imagine they exist in an AWS or GCP rack somewhere, too bad

Someone must have their browser untouched since 2015, which has all of the li.st content stored in their cache :D

and the dotted background just ever so lightly still visible. Contrast is king

Tell me more—these colors, #2B2B2B for fg and #F7F3EE for bg pass accessibility checks. See something like coolors [1] or WebAIM [2]

You could run something like https://motherfuckingwebsite.com/ but contrast doesn't mean to run with black/white, http://bettermotherfuckingwebsite.com/ is better on the eyes.

If it's bothering the eyes, like many more of other websites would, feel free to pull up your favorite browser's reader mode with your preferences. Cheers!

A companion to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46054879, we now had successfully recovered all the remaining li.st entries of Anthony Bourdain that were thought to be lost to time.

Please enjoy—there is nobody like Tony.

I was in the same boat for many years! Having started using org-mode for my website in 2018 [1] (just add index.org to the path to see the source), it grew into this massive pile of obscure gen and with my limited comfort level with lisp, turned into a scary smelling concoction of dozens of perl/sed/sh scripts that modified the output to fit my needs and have them do something fancy.

But then, really, sat down for about 48 hours on a lonely weekend when everyone was away and wrote a simple static site generator [2] that takes exact same files and produces output that I fully understand e2e, becoming the project I'm most proud of.

There are so many other generators I tried (hugo, jekyll, rails, asciidoctor, org-publish, astro), rolling up your own gives a sense of a stable foundation. Love your website! So clean. One thing that I'm thinking of adding (though I haven't touched my generator that much, I consider it "complete") is the dynamic execution of source code blocks.

The reality is this is on the HN front page probably because it was trending on Reddit/Twitter or whatever the kids use these days. Without the grace of the benevolent algorithms, you would never ever have found out about this website.

The reality is that I was browsing the annual HTML Day submissions [1] and stumbled upon this super wholesome webpage.
