These may be the only kind of website i ever make. At least as long as the internet looks like it does not, which let’s admit, is unlikely. But by the point we have brain compute-centered experiences, i doubt we’ll still be calling them websites anymore so semantically i think i’m safe.

- [p] Stylistic control is extremely high, allows for one-offs deviations
- [p] AI-assistance is readily available, somewhat easy to learn
- [p] Self-hosting is accessible
- [p] Response times are lightning fast
- [c] Scalability is somewhat clunky
- [c] Fancy reactive elements are virtually impossible
In the future i might transition to a more structured framework like ruby but that seems to be a dying community.
