This is cool! I landed on an old Doom WAD review page.
A site "Last revised: August 16, 1995" that's still intact and accessible. Looks like something straight out of geocities http://www.fluffy.com/fluffy/Fluffyhome.html
Wonder what Cathy or her sons are doing nowadays
The Web 1.0 is a lot like the Gemini protocol but older imo.
Got an interesting page on the security of the world wide web.
The link I got was http://pages.swcp.com/~mccurley/danger/mailbomb.html
Which as discovered by clicking "go back to previous page" as well as context on the page was that it was a redirect from all of the links on this page: http://pages.swcp.com/~mccurley/danger/danger.html that were things like "click here to (do x bad thing) to your machine"
net::ERR_CLEARTEXT_NOT_PERMITTED
Idk why but this has taken over the last half hour of my life lol
Got frenchpastrychef.com
Edit: Tried again and got a quick glimpse of an old geocities page before I got a popup that told me my iphone was infected. Lol
Does anyone know how do I make a shortcut to this on an Android phone?
OP, thank you very much for this. You've made my day.
Got redirected to https://www.operating-system.org/ , which looks web 2.0 rather than 1.0... And seems like the kind of site that I actually want to read, nonetheless
That is 1.0, pure html but just well constructed.
Feels weirdly nostalgic even though I wasn't there during web 1.0.
This is gold
