The state of the web in 2024. Novelty. Booms & busts. The joy of simple HTML-centric web design. Personal websites. The centralized, walled web vs. the decentralized web.
Even though a lot of people use large, popular walled web and/or social media services now and still will in the future, there’s a percentage of people who will stop using them. To me, it feels like there’s a clear fracturing happening on the web right now like never before.
A growing number of people are leaving the walled gardens of the web to find a better experience. Websites don't need to be flashy and overly complicated to be effective; they simply need to deliver information quickly, reliably and without distractions.
