Retro Website Jam

Like a game jam, but we make silly websites instead!
With a late 90's / early 2000's aesthetic.

Overview

The Jam will run from July 15, 2024 1:00 PM (CST) until August 19, 2024 1:00 PM (CST).
Discuss your ideas and share wip's in the discord server's #website-jam-chat channel.
When you're ready, submit a link to your website in the #website-jam-entries channel.

To get a discord invite link, go to Nova's stream twitch.tv/novaliminal
and type !discord in chat - it'll even work when she's offline!

Rules

Nothing hateful or harmful - If you are unsure, it is likely not okay.
You're free to make your site with any web tech/framework/etc. that you want, but it should run reasonably well on most modern browsers - bonus points if it also works well in lynx!
It should be safe-for-twitch, so we can showcase everyone's creations on our streams.
No Generative-AI content (including but not limited to text, images, audio, video).
If you create an 88x31 web-button image, we can include it in a list of links!

Jam Theme

Nostalgic Fan Site

And for the heck of it, let's also try a few optional wildcards:

[Synthwave] - give your site that (synth|vapor|retro|chill)wave aesthetic
[Gamification] - add some sort of gameplay to your site
[Soup] - place a hidden soup on your site

Note: you don't have to use the theme or any of the wildcards!
They're just there if you wanted some creative constraints.
