Agree! I started SpaceHey a few years ago as a MySpace revival and it organically grew to 1M+ users. There's really a place for nostalgic social media (not only regarding the design, but also the feature set and vibe in general)

Exactly.

> When I started out, you could just copy HTML files up to your server and you had a website. It was magical! And PHP made it even better; you could just throw in a little snippet of server-side code and you had a dynamic page.

Well, you can still very much do this. Sure, it's not bleeding edge, but large chunks of the web (even newer sites) still do it this way and rely on PHP or sinilar server side languages.

I run both of those things for a while now, and I think it's easier than many expect. And once it's set up correctly, both Email and DNS Servers do not require much maintenance and scale pretty well.

I rebuilt MySpace... and it got quite popular

Similar: https://systemfontstack.com

Either way, it's the best way to go these days if you don't need any fancy external fonts on your website.

Oh, I see - that makes perfect sense! Thank you for the clarification!

Glad you like SpaceHey :)

Keep up the great work!

Nice project! However, when trying to search for my site (https://spacehey.com), it shows multiple tags, with most of them being false (Cloudflare, UTM Tracking, WEBP Images). I used Cloudflare at one point in the past, but don't anymore. Additionally, there has never been UTM tracking or anything like that nor WEBP images... Where do you get such data from?

Apart from that, awesome project!
