Prototype #0 Invoking the Holy Handmade Web

Single webpage made during methods class to mock J.R. Carpenter's text
https://hub.xpub.nl/cerealbox/~kiara/methods/handmade-web/

Prototype #1 Pure HTML home page

This is a 99% HTML home page (1% of CSS)
https://kirayana.codeberg.page/xpub-GRS-prototypes/

Prototype #2 Nomai home page

A home page using the Nomai Script[1] to map out the website.
Each branch of the script links to a page, allowing for a non-linear reading, wandering and mystery.
The script is acting as a code, making also a mise en abîme between the script itself and web languages.

[1] The Nomai Script
The Nomai Script is an ancient fictional language created for the video game Outer Wilds. The Nomais were an ancient population that explored galaxies and left traces of their passage by writing on various surfaces. The script resembles spirals with branches and complex architecture. The spirals almost loop into each other, forming entire conversations.

- changing the handwriting factor or seed integer: not really interesting, for future tests I use handwriting: 0.5 and seed: 2500
- the website offers a "download" option that is not super practical (it save the web page) but inspecting it allows to get the svg paths to replicate the shape!

Examples of "spell ring" in Nomai script, using nomai-writing.com:

encoding base: 200 000
handwriting factor: 0.3
seed: 47
encoding base: 2000
handwriting factor: 0.3

As seen in the Prototype #, I wrote a draft of introduction for the website. Then I gave it to nomai-writing.com and got this much more relevant result:
