    A minimalist (brutalist?) website for sharing all your links▲303

    Do you remember the internet of the early 2000s?

The entire project is crafted in Vanilla JavaScript, contained within a single index.html file, eschewing any external libraries. It features support for theming, including the use of third-party themes. Additionally, users have the capability to create and apply their own themes directly within the site.
