Hello! I have seen your guide to the personal web and I want to talk with you about something I've been working on. Is there any way I can contact you?

great video a lot of helpful tools

Huge sauce

At first, being detached from centralized websites will feel a lot lonely. That's because you're used to the absolute size of the crowd over at those big sites. Think of it like being in a concert. It's nice for spending the good time once in a while, but you can't play sports with your friends in a crowd like that. You go over to places like playgrounds, and digital spaces like discord for that.

fuck who knew me learning html and css would help me

There is something psychologically healing about having your own personal space to place your art front and center

I need more people to talk about this part of the internet!!!!! It really sucks how everyone is being forced together with big social media and stuff

This sounds interesting and I keep coming back to this idea. But here's the thing, I went to some of these sites, and I would say 90 percent of them seemed to be gay-oriented. Did I just stumble onto some gay ones, or is that just the crowd that seems to be into this? I don't want to put time into making a unique website and the only people who see it are gender-obsessed zoomers.

I had a silly hope page when I was a teenager in 1998 or so, taught myself so much. I think i’ll dust it off and write a new one, cool to see this coming back

Sad, people really are trash

woah phonebadbookgood no way so profound!

Hit the nail on the head. Wouldn’t expect any less from Steve though.

Thats so accurate its uncanny

Just by looking at the current state of His company, you see that this man really stood by his words.

Great video, what is the tool you named for rss on youtube? Thanks!

Hi! I just want to say that I do not recommend Wordpress. I used to like it, but they've removed the ability to personalize your website at all unless you subscribe to a paid plan. Not fun! I know it wasn't like this before because a couple of years ago I made a website on their platform and there was at the very least a bare minimum for personalization. By bare minimum, I mean color scheme. Now you can't do that. And the templates that they offer for free are so ugly! All the nice ones are behind a paywall now.

Visual Studio is massive overkill for making a simple frontend only site. Better to recommend editors like: sublime text, atom, vs code/codium.

thank you so much for this!

thx dude

"we just need to change the culture by telling people" is not a material solution like regulation is. These platforms are designed to be addictive. Lil Billy won't self-host his Mastodon instance because the arguments to do so were rationally compelling. Most adults can't be trusted to understand they're addicted to these things. Maybe friends/loved ones, not an entire culture.

I like the way you describes the garbage you don't want to see 😂

what about google sites? A lot of cool sites I saw use it, but I don't know how recommendable it is...

The fact the opening montage was mainly women was a bit incelly ngl. Couldn’t put a few examples of guys flexing money and cars lmao, unless you like that stuff I guess 😂

Hello, I think the title of the video is unhelpfully obfuscating the subject you are discussing. By this I mean "Eastern" is not synonymous with Japanese. Although "Eastern" is not "Oriental," I feel that they can become near-synonyms. What I mean by this is using terms like "Eastern" and "Oriental" are reductive in their descriptiveness and, what's more, in their being reductive, they suggest the logic of Orientalism (they suggest the idea of a hegemonic Orient). I don't mean to attack you in any way. The motivation for my commenting is instead that this pattern of language use is something that irks me specifically, and so I focus in on it whenever it comes up. Your use of the term is not original sin, is what I am saying. Regardless. Interesting video, thank you for sharing your findings.

okay, but then why would this very algorithm recommend me your video that is basically telling me to get off youtube. Actually, it does surprise me that social media apps allow people to share whatever they please, even the ones bashing social media.

Great video but I do have one problem with the editing itself. The super fast montage of pictures (ex:@ 5:00 in the video) really hurts my eyes. I would suggest that the speed of how fast the images change is slowed down a bit. Thanks for reading.

i feel the overhelming need to mention that emacs is way cooler than vim.

Jesus where has this been for my whole hyper focus

Nice! i love people like you. and i think more people should ditch social media and create a website. i am willing to build a website for everybody that deletes their social media accont.

I wish work didn't need me to have to use "apps" on my phone or tafe needs me to download apps on my phone I wish I could just do all that on a laptop or a computer and have my phone only for music and calling/texting people

you're truly legend

is the webserver only for previewing the site? what difference is there between a private webserver and opening the html file with a browser? am i completely misunderstanding this? i code in visual studio then preview with firefox on windows and i didn’t have to set up anything special for that (i’m very new to all this, only know a little html and css)

Hi, I love all of your videos. Have you looked into this thing called Cursor AI? I learned about it from a video on Twitter where a kid uses it to code a website for her. From what I have gathered about it, it's basically a fork of Visual Studio Code with an AI built into it. You can tell the AI what you want from it and it will try to make it. As someone with literally zero experience/training in coding HTML or CSS, I have been using this AI to code my website for me, testing it in a test server as I go along. So far, I have had very few minor hiccups in making a website so far, and within a day I managed to make a mostly complete, fun little personal website featuring some external links as well as a portfolio, blog and about page. Hopefully, I can finish my site soon and publish it on Neocities or something.

"if you are on windows [...] you don't have the terminal" is untrue to the point that there is literally an official terminal app called "windows terminal". i develop and push my site from windows, and i haven't been having issues with that myself. i can agree that linux/unix is a better experience, as i also work from my mac and have experience with linux, but wsl is also a thing that works quite well.

I literally saw your github earlier today and saw the template. I was also thinking about if you uploaded a new video.

After watching your latest zero to hero video again, I wondered when will you upload again... And here you are lol

I find "it limits your freedom of speech" to be not so compelling. You got to be very far away from what's considered acceptable to run into that problem, considering all the card-carrying swastika-wearing nazis that are just fine on "traditional" social media (and alt-tech social media is usually just people who got banned for harassment, entirely different issue). And if you're actually there, you'll need to find a very specific host for your website anyway. Expressiveness is much more important, and maybe even worth trading discoverability for.

how can i find personal websites?, read, find, not make.

Firebase is a free hosting service (but its a google product). Ive managed to integrate a framework like next.js with it too (no server needed)

bladee jumpscare

I love everything about this

Tysm for making this! A lot of the stuff you explained were initial roadblocks I had, so this video really helps for me, and probably lots more!

Hey, great guide! I'll try to do this, one day...

Autism. And you arent even proficient in the autism you are preaching.

💯💯💯

i love people that act like japanese internet is wholesome 100 it's like the telltale sign of EOP

all of this is the internet, I take issue with the wording here 4:52 . No? Both, social media and forums have "toxic and wrongful people saying toxic and wrongful things". It's the internet, we *can* be civil but we also be vile. If you want an example, there were forums about su-do-kuing yourself and the methods of best success where people encouraged people to do exactly that. Neither is better, just diffrent.

4:22 damn i almost got featured here im one position above mechagic in this webring

OH FUCK YES FORUMS ARE BACK ON THE MENU
