It's been 13 years of "no, you can't do in the phone's webbrowser the thing you can do in a PC's webbrowser, you need to install a fucking app". People just accepted it. The fuckers accepted it.

I miss when absolute cranks had their own websites. Give me ten Time Cubes over any website app
TIME CUBE. Yes. This was the perfect website. Along with the various anti-time cube and pro-time cube websites and the wars between them.
That's really pretty.
I keep a list of the weird guy home pages I find in the wild so I can check up on them.
What do you mean? Like post 2008? Weird guys still do this?
Yeah its cool. Some haven't been updated in a couple years but some are as recently updated as 2022.
Check my other reply, one of them is the inventor of YAML.
What are they up to at the moment? Could you post one of your favourites as an example?
this one is one of my favorites: https://www.wussu.com/
English dude named weed who runs the classical guitar tabs site. He's also into activism for causes like squatters rights.
ingy.net has gotten weirder since my last visit, wingdings are now the font but most of the content seems the same, the ssl cert has expired.
https://www.mindprod.com/ This person wrote the guide to writing unmaintainable code, a long winded comedy masterpiece. They're also into a lot of other stuff they write about, including their sexuality, politics, life being HIV+
http://www.adrian-kingston.com/index.htm I found this guy looking up information about IR blaster protocols but I liked how he's been continually updating with his vacation photos for like 20 years.
https://www.quarkcentral.net/home this person just writes about their theory of the universe along side their resume and tech blog.
I find most of these people through esoteric tech blogs, almost all the guys posting their blogs that have been around for a while have other weird stuff that's worth looking at. Honestly finding these guys is one of the best reasons to browse hackernews.
If anyone has any more cool ones I can add to my list, i'd be appreciative.

What's a Time Cube?
It's hard to explain. It was a website written by a very strange man based around a central idea that all science is wrong because one rotation of the Earth should be considered 4 days instead of 1 day. The website itself was a long string of text explaining his positions in very strange language, but since it had no home page or anything, the information wasn't separated. And it was formatted poorly so the most basic information was at the bottom and subsequently added updates were at the top, making it impossible to read.
Warning though, Time Cube guy used a lot of slurs for some reason
It's not bad website design, it's simply meant to be read in TempleOS
