Yeah that‘s the good shit! Wait, what… JQuery?!

View on HN

Yea that one surprised me. Everything else was pretty spot on…but she needs to add a guestbook

And a hit counter

webrings, anyone?

I am off to buy a .party domain haha.

Amazingly the Homebrew CPU webring is still... Pretty good! The only extant webring I can think of.

https://www.homebrewcpuring.org/

once I actually add a bit more content to my site I'm planning to add my site to the merveilles/XXIIVV webring! https://webring.xxiivv.com/ :)

I miss webrings, mostly because I was too young to ever code one :)

and a world population counter that looks like the hit counter

and java applets for each navigation link button that have a gradient in the background when you hover over them

I still use jQuery but https://umbrellajs.com too.

And native DOM API as well.

Fetch is great. I never understood the need for installing axios when fetch works fine. I remember the good old days of XMLHttpRequest.

Axios has better errror handling.

Fetch doesn't have progress bars yet.

False, you can use response.body which is a ReadableStream. See https://fetch-progress-demo.glitch.me/ for a simple example.

I think the point wasn't that jquery was old, but it was way too new for the rest of the page. Everything on it screams mid 90s, and then jquery which is a good 10 years later.

Mootools FTW!

Dojo would like a word.

Let's not forget about http://prototypejs.org/ & http://script.aculo.us/ for modern Web 2.O

Agreed, jQuery felt like an anachronism given the style of that web page. At most I'd expect a "remember DHTML?"
