Hey folks! Last night, while doom-scrolling through endless Tailwind/shadcn landing pages (you know, the ones with identical "rounded-xl" everywhere), I got hit with 56k modem nostalgia. So remembering the wild days of dot-com pages, I put together this simple tool.
While it started as just a fun project, I realized something interesting: stripping away modern design might actually help you focus on the content. Sure, it looks ridiculous (that's the point), but it's a surprisingly effective way to experience websites without dark patterns and infinite scroll engagement traps.
Plus, sending your Chief Product Officer a GeoCities version of your company's website is a fantastic way to start a conversation about web design diversity?
PS. Big shout out to the creators of Geo-bootstrap library!
Really nice April Fools’ Day prank. I was expecting it to actually transform the website and remove the design, but instead, it analyses the content and creates something new on its own, that doesn't correspond to the original entirely. Still, it’s funny, well done!
