You can create an amateur website in exactly the same way as 20 years ago. Is it that hard? It's hard perhaps to step back and just play with web tech if you're indoctrinated into the modern development hellscape, but I don't see any reason you can't be ftping html files into a www directory to your heart's content if you really want to.
- JohnCurran 4y agoI think one of the biggest issues now is for peopling learning is if you just search “get started with web development”, the very first result says “Pick up a Frontend Framework.” Newbies are immediately plunged into the world of npm, react/vue, and AWS. Gone are the days where the tutorials are “write a page in HTML and FTP it on to a server”
- seydor 4y agoyou can't because everything you might want to embed/add now asks you to either use npm or something of the sort. I can't even find ways to 'just' download JS in libraries lately. In my example, suppose you wanted to add a 3d panorama with a-frame (easiest way), here is the installation:https://aframe.io/docs/1.3.0/introduction/installation.html https://aframe.io/docs/1.3.0/introduction/installation.html
- solardev 4y agoI think that's just a poorly written doc that doesn't explain the tradeoffs for each approach. If you don't want to deal with the tool chain, just go straight to the "Include JS build" section. That one line script tag is all you need.
