Where Are You? 2 🖼️

In 1993, introducing the concept of inline images to the web was a revolutionary idea. Even more so, it was highly debated on mailing lists and almost considered blasphemy.

Today, I extend upon the idea of the /where page. In general, I like a /where page, that's straight to the point. A simple page, that shows your current location. Nothing fancy.

My own /where page lives up to this simplicity. It's plain and simple and still quite charming in its little box with the call to action button. But why not have a little fun?

My travel blog's /where page, on the other hand, was not fun enough!

So I had a revolutionary idea:

What about images?

Oh yeah, adding an image that acts as a summary of how I spend my time at my current location. That sounds like fun!

And yet, it's simple and to the point. You know, it's nothing special really, but I believe that's the beauty of it. For every country on this trip around the world, I want to feature one image.

Let's cut the crap and the high velocity of social media. The stories, the reels, the shorts, the fasts. Let's make the web slow again and reduce it to the basics. There is one place on the internet where that's still possible: The small web.

In 2024, introducing images on a website can still be a revolutionary idea.

Who would have thought?
