Well. I did "post-framework" even before frameworks existed and I never stopped writing that little bit of HTML and CSS needed for static pages myself. I guess I'm so old that it is considered being young again 🙂

I'd call that "pre-framework" 😉

The good old times, when putting a w3c validator button to the end of the page was a thing - because each small change done (with vi, directly on the web server) might break the correctness of the html ...

I had my own format similar to markdown. Where does that fit in?
