| host it on any static website host?

| Woah! I love this retro-inspired type of design. It feels so fun

| potential for a new wave of quirky services and digital gardens
| on the internet away from FAANG walled gardens.
|
| To that end, here's some cool libraries and resources to get you
| started. What's awesome is that since we are in 2021 this design
| language can be married with the power of modern web frameworks
| to make something extraordinary.
