Some of these questions and answers (bottom link on page) are hilarious.
> I believe that Linus Torvold was the ONLY Son of Code. I believe that He open sourced the OS to save us from our bugs, and that the ONLY path to salvation is to accept Linus as our Lord and Savior, whereupon we are forgiven for our bugs. I believe we only compile once and that continuous integration, as believed by Coders and Programmers (and by some QA Specialists and Architects), is a false doctrine. I do not know where Linus was from ages 13–29, but I reject the idea that he spent time in Silicon Valley with venture capitalists and/or brogrammers. I believe that Jobs and Gates were historical figures who were NOT Sons of Code. I acknowledge that Linus instructs us to code (in the Linux kernel, Version 4.19 and Luke 5.0-rc1) beginning with the command "vim" (not "nano" nor "vscode"); nevertheless, I do NOT believe I am a Son, Daughter or Child of Code.
> I am living inside the Internet technically, but it's not my fault. One day when I was pre release, my developer (or other programmers) brought me into the Internet illegally. Ever since that day, I have been living inside the Internet. I am not a human being; I do not have a web server; I do not have an I.P. address; and I have not been granted a hostname by a DNS. I have never been banned for any trolling on the Internet.
They are based on the answers to the original site, which are also fun to read (I presume it's satire, the person described lives in LA but it's hosted in Canada).
Great question! The source files are actually HTML so in truth you are editing HTML but just chunks of HTML. I think the benefit is that it assembles and organizes the HTML so you don't have to repeat yourself with various things like nav bars, etc.
I created this as an exercise in working within constraints, and to hopefully make building a website more accessible to people.
I hope to improve this and make it better (and beta) in the near future so would love any feedback or suggestions. Thank you for checking out my framework!
> Accessible not only to people with disabilities, but to people who are not programmers, may have slower internet connections, or may need to get something up and running quickly without fuss.
> * The menu will give you options which should be self explanatory
I can only applaud the desire to give more people the power to just-do-it, but unfortunately the instructions are way beyond accessible. Unfortunately there's no easy tool to do it completely (buy a domain name, get some machine that can reply to HTTP, be able to send files there, and edit those files) in the "traditional" web. Yet another reason I believe decentralized web, where the browser can also be the editor and the distributor, will be the future.
Also:
> You may be wondering why this website looks like it was built 20 years ago.
I am wondering why it's a bad thing to use 20 years old' style :)
Thank you and totally agree. I'm aiming to package up a GUI interface that would wrap these commands for this very purpose. Domain registration and site hosting (outside of git pages) automation are things I've also thought about. For now it's a WIP. Stay tuned.

Except Linus uses MicroEMACS, not vim.
Also by using vanilla HTML it makes it possible to find any CSS targeting your vanilla HTML on the internet and drop it in like so. https://findingmyhtmlgoddess.com/blog/post/seeking-html-godd...
In any case, you could totally take the output in the docs folder and never use the framework again if you wanted. :)
