About GeezerVison

GeezerVison is a public-web viewer. It retrieves an ordinary HTML page and redraws the useful bits — text, images, headings, and links — inside a deliberately old website: fixed 800-pixel width, Times headlines, Verdana body copy, blue underlined links, tables, square borders, a tiny navigation bar, and a simple sidebar.

The original site's CSS is discarded on purpose. Modern card layouts, rounded corners, and sticky headers do not come along for the ride.

What it will not do

  • No user logins, account pages, or authenticated apps.
  • No checkout, carts, or payment pages.
  • No private or internal addresses.
  • No attempt to run complex JavaScript applications. Start with plain HTML.

Why it looks like this

Around the turn of the millennium a webpage was a table, a tiled background, and a handful of web-safe colors. GeezerVison puts that costume back on whatever public document you hand it, then rewrites every link so browsing continues through this same window.
