One prompt turns NYC weather data into a perfect 1990s-style academic web page
vboykis · x · 2026-10-25
vboykis shares a neat demo: a single prompt — "Make the website in the no-frills plain HTML style that academic and hardcore programming websites had in the 1990s" — gets an AI assistant to render three days of Central Park weather data as a retro academic-style HTML page.
The result nails the 1990s aesthetic: serif headings, blue links, Summary/Data/Chart/Notes sections, and a clean table showing three dry, clear days near the normal 62°F/49°F.
