“Just over a week after Mosaic 1.0 was released, CERN gifted the Web to the world as open source software. As of 30 April 1993, the still relatively new Internet communications platform was suddenly free for anyone to use, with no strings attached.” https://cybercultural.com/p/1993-mosaic-launches-and-the-web-is-set-free/

This had made many people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

The only thing that's missing is some blink text!🤣

I remember being shocked at how easy it was to create a webpage. I did a lot of hand-coding until the PageMill app came out. I wrote a book about that for Peachpit Press. Then it was bought out by Adobe which eventually replaced it with Dreamweaver. But that original PageMill was great for creating pure HTML webpages.

Now I use MarsEdit to compose for WordPress. But rather than the WYSIWYG page editor, I still hand-code formatting.

I recall maybe around 1995ish my uncle showing me the internet, specifically the NASA astronomy photo of the day and watching it slowly paint across the screen. Aw memories. Still a thing all these years later: https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/

I didn't realize the web was so new then.
