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

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.
