I actually realized last night that everything that got me excited about the internet circa 2013 is actually way easier now, fun little one-off websites are far more doable, but we've lost the zeitgeist perhaps. It makes me wanna move back to NYC and go to BrooklynJS again.

Sure they exist. But nobody knows they exist because everyone just uses apps and SEO punishes actual good websites.

Things being too easy takes the joy away from the process. All you are left with is the result and not the journey.
