Summary

The internet was once filled with single user websites that served various purposes, often for fun and curiosity. These sites not only made the internet a better place but also provided an opportunity for people to learn how to make things online by doing so. The author of this text created their own pointless website using Zapier's webhooks, learning something new in the process. The no-code movement has made it possible to create websites without HTML skills, and platforms like Unbounce offer tools for building focused pages or simply making something for its own sake. Examples of such creations include anniversary cards, a startup generator, golf pool scoreboards, and wedding RSVPs, all built using Unbounce's platform or similar tools. Building pointless websites can be a great way to learn how to use a tool, as it encourages people to push the limits of what they can do with it.
