>> This site has been online since 2004, previously entirely static (generated by a Perl script). It outgrew that some years ago and I've finally got around to rewriting it in bleeding-edge Rails. Source available on GitLab.
It's an useful resource, I had similar, albeit just a tiny fraction, collection of colors I can pull out of my sleeve when asked for advice, but... why does this page has to be served from "bleeding edge server application" instead of being served as static html files?
