the best thing about learning how to do web coding is over time there’s more and more ideas you have that you’re realizing you could just. make yourself. instead of having to rely on someone else to do the code stuff you don’t know and then lock some features [carrd] or having to work within the limitations of a site that isn’t fully customizable [tumblr posts] or both [rentry]. like i can just do that shit. sure maybe it’ll take me a little more time but not only is it entirely and completely min,e i can also customize it much more extensively than any of the previous options and neocities lets you just download your own site whenever you want. did i mention it’s free and you can get multiple neocities sites for 5 dollars a month that you get to keep even if you unsub later. why are you not making a neocities rn
once you understand how the underlying stuff works, you can edit it so much more than before. i used to use this tumblr page code that looked kinda small and wonky, but it used filterable tags and i could use it for my stels and kintypes and things, so i stuck with it. i didn’t know how to make it look or behave in a better way, so i settled for what i could get
i literally just learned how to be able to make it myself and my entire everything has just been blown wide open. i never have to rely on some other site or some paid tool or an app or whatever in order to display information i can filter / tag ever again because i can DO IT MYSELF
