gollark: osmarks.tk's experiment pages are just HTML/CSS/JS with no title bar or comment box or anything, plus metadata, and the blog stuff is Markdown. The static site generator compiles the markdown to HTML, and puts the HTML into templates, embeds styles and stuff, adds the achievement system code, and all that sort of thing, and produces HTML/CSS/JS for upload to my server.
gollark: APNG good, MP4 good, etc.
gollark: GIFs are just an awful format which only stuck around because animation.
