Windows 7 x64 Extended Support Page

Horribly designed page. Why does everything need to blink? Why is the text so poorly rendered? You can accomplish a retro design while retaining some semblance of readability.

It’s clearly a personal pet project where they’ve heavily leaned, hard, into some creative ways to present traditional documents.

We all complain about dull corporate themes and walled gardens making the web stale. But you can’t have a creative fun web without having the odd site that breaks some readability conventions.

Personally, I’d rather see more personal sites like this and fewer stuff on Medium or using boring React/Vue/whatever themes. But each to their own.

I prefer plain js/scss and sometimes pug backed into webpack.

I'm here hanging out on HNN. I've never complained about dull, "stale" Web design.

Everyone has it's own opinion. And if i tell you that it is just one of four different projects i have?

And yeah, do you have any projects to showcase to us?
