🌐 BACKSPACE — Devlog #03 | Day 3/30

The Web 2.0 Revolution — 2005

Day 3 takes BACKSPACE into 2005, the era when the web transformed from static pages into an interactive, social playground.

I recreated the early Web 2.0 experience with a period-inspired Firefox 1.5 browser, interactive versions of Digg, MySpace, YouTube, Thefacebook, Google Maps, Flickr, and Google Reader, along with draggable maps, Top 8 profiles, AJAX-style interactions, RSS feeds, classic ratings, glossy Web 2.0 UI, and custom Web Audio API sound effects.

• 7 interactive web experiences
• ~3,900+ lines of TypeScript/TSX
• Custom procedural audio effects
• Period-inspired UI and interactions

Built with React + TypeScript + Vite.

From static HTML to the social web — 2005 changed everything.

🔮 Next: Day 4 — 2010, the Mobile & Social Web.

Revisit the web. One era at a time.
