I like it! But how would you describe this one? This collection is meant more for tight/inspired themes. But I also included https://bootstra386.com/ which is on the edge too so I'm not against including this

ohhh that's what the geo is in reference to. Awesome, thanks!

Still a bit of a gray area because there's not set "geocities" or "myspace" style, but I'll include stuff like this for now

That Bootstra386 reminds me of the Mosaic web browser. Not sure if that was the "feeling" behind it, but it feels like the early internet days.

Wow, this takes me back! I remember visiting pages like this in the early 90's while rendering fractals in Fractint. I remember following a bunch of Geocities pages that looked at Pink Floyd's The Division Bell album, and there being a hidden meaning. Turned out to be created by the record company, but as a high schooler on the early internet, I was fascinated with it.

That 95 theme is terrible. May as well use the 98 theme.

I can smell that windows 98 theme, the gray plastic and the rubber mouse ball that used to get schmootz in it.

Gotta scratch the schmootz off those little rollers too.

For a better experience, please clean the rubber mouse ball and put it back and set your browser window to 1024x768 resolution for the ultimate experience.

Even more important to remove the dirt from the rollers that attached to the mouse ball

I mean, typography on dead tree is a form of UI, and very retro too!

This isn't really meant to be a retro UI theme list. It's just a list of CSS stylesheets with a tight theme that's a specific reference to some sort of UI

Not to be confused with design systems or UI libraries. Just CSS stylesheets
