This is just a static html site, no? Using build packs or npm for a static page doesn’t even make sense. While I appreciate the throw back design, there’s nothing retro about sticking html files in the public folder; it’s just the correct way to deploy simple static pages (I’ve got a half dozen sites deployed exactly in that way).

The retro part is encouraging beginers to learn to edit html on their own computer, and quickly have a personal space.

It’s a well done homage - but no one should believe for one second the actual average page back then looked _that good_!
It would be cool if there's was a public "explore" page to see the sites that currently exist, similar to Neocities.

What has changed now? I still upload my static web content to my ~/public_html folder on live website, using sftp. Anything wrong with that? Why people coming up with this kind of news? The other day someone was saying scripting the HTML Table element using DOM API is gone.
Check internic.net landing page. Not changed in decades. You don't need to be so desperate for change.
