Thanks to everyone who clarified it to me; it was not an ironic question, but I still think that the matter is a bit more ambiguous than simply "everyone liked it". That said, I will just leave this here: http://bettermotherfuckingwebsite.com/ http://bettermotherfuckingwebsite.com/

>Black on white? How often do you see that kind of contrast in real life? Tone it down a bit, asshole. What a stupid point. Make your shit less readable because appeal to nature. Even dumber than the usual reason, "I think it looks cool".

For every web-related HN post there’s always that one person who keeps reminding how it was all better 15 years ago and how you actually dont need any colours on web since they are so irritating. Tired of hearing this pointless rant every time. Especially since this portfolio is something fresh and not just a cookie cutter WP theme with annoying animations. Web itself can be art or culture or whatever, if it takes 10 seconds to realize how to use it on your phone then big fucking deal. CURL is handy for reading web content I’ve heard, keeps you safe from unpleasant surprises

  > For every web-related HN post there’s always that one person who keeps reminding how it was all better 15 years ago and how you actually dont need any colours on web since they are so irritating. You are a) massively over-interpreting the comment you are replying to, and b) taking it way too personally.

    Well that was the gist of the comment, right? You can say it subtly but the point and innuendo remains the same. I’m not personally offended but admittedly tired of reading this same stuff every week. Maybe I should read less comments, though, as HN is starting to feel like a groundhog week. Luckily not on the same level as Reddit yet.

On the contrary, OPs site is much more the type of thing people were experimenting with early on, about 25 years before today's sameness. I wonder what percentage of today's HN readership built a site along these lines using image maps: https://www.w3schools.com/htmL/html_images_imagemap.asp https://www.w3schools.com/htmL/html_images_imagemap.asp
