<h2>About this page</h2>
<p>
meow! If you've found your way to this page, you're automatically cool in my opinion.
</p>
<p>
This page was originally created as an homage to old internet sites, similar to what
you'd find on Geocities. It originally even had mostly-full support for old web browsers
like NCSA Mosaic and Netscape Navigator (I went as far as to design the page using table
layout, avoiding CSS, automatically converting PNGs into GIFs, and disabling the HTTPS
redirect for User-Agents that don't handle these "modern" features well). Partial
support for old browsers still remains, but as I've expanded this page that support has
deteriorated. It's written with Svelte anyways, so it's a bit hard to avoid fancy new
web features.
</p>
<p>
You may notice that this is not the main page of my website, and that the main page is
much less provocative. I like to treat this page as a much lower-stakes page that I can
mess around with and do weird stuff on, since I expect it to have significantly fewer
visitors due to not being linked anywhere obvious from my site and blocking search
engine crawlers. If you were wondering, the "intended" ways of finding this page are by
visiting a 404 page that randomly (5% chance) happens to show a 451 Unavailable For
Legal Reasons and clicking the text (which leads here), or by clicking a link on a
friend's site that links to this page. Other ways (like reading the source code, or
someone directly giving you the link) are valid too.
</p>
<p>
As you may have figured out by now, this website/domain contains within it <i>many</i>
hidden and undocumented features (like the existence of this page). Here's a freebie, you
can visit the main pages of this website through SSH, like by literally typing in your terminal
<code>ssh matdoes.dev</code>. Some of the hidden features were made with the expectation
that they'll never be found though (and many I've even forgotten about), so, good luck I
guess.
</p>
<p>
Anyways, yap over. Go visit the sites of my friends linked in the 88×31 buttons above,
they're all cooler than me.
