I appreciate the celebration retrospective on what the web used to look like. However I take issue with the name. Since this is Hacker News, I hope you're okay with this kind of unimportant semantic argument. From Wikipedia: > The "Dark Ages" is a historical periodization traditionally referring to the Middle Ages (c. 5th–15th century) that asserts that a demographic, cultural, and economic deterioration occurred in Western Europe following the decline of the Roman Empire. If you're trying to keep with how "Dark Age" I don't think the periods you're referring to are at all "Dark". The cultural output of the web back then was _massive_, novel, and growing. It's even more massive now, and growing at a faster rate than before. Whether that output is quite as novel now is up for debate, but what I'm saying is that if there is such a thing as a "Web Dark Age", we haven't seen it yet. Back then, it was the early days and things were still being worked out. It wasn't a deterioration, since there was nothing to deteriorate. Nonetheless, I like the website and it's a nice snapshot of some design trends of the time.
