Woah! I love this retro-inspired type of design. It feels so fun and appealing, as if geocities was reincarnated. I wouldn't even bat an eye at the $50 lifetime hosting option. I've been watching this new trend away from "clean" UI for a while, and see so much potential for a new wave of quirky services and digital gardens on the internet away from FAANG walled gardens.

To that end, here's some cool libraries and resources to get you started. What's awesome is that since we are in 2021 this design language can be married with the power of modern web frameworks to make something extraordinary.
