your manifesto is so correct. you really articulate some things i feel about neocities.
Aw thank you! I mainly use mobile to navigate sites like 80% of the time..so I found it to be a pretty close topic to me ^^ Im just happy whenever pages are fixed to a specific dimension or theyre completely responsive; its those hybrid sites that tend to get very janky at different resolutions
thank you so much!!! you have some great links (still looking through them at the moment) i havent yet but sometime ill have to check out the new star trek series(plural)
try glassmorphism, and experiment with styling, highlights and shadows, though it might look a bit "corporate", hence why i encourage experimentation.
https://solinus.neocities.org/projects did a project about six "panes" of glass (based on my earlier comment) to show some possibilities. (and as a design exercise)
