WWW #

the world wide web. So much promise, so little accomplished. The amount of failing and flailing surrounding web 2.0, web3, even web4 now; an increasing number of people and organizations are starting to notice that something’s wrong.

It doesn’t work.

We all want to bring it back to the interconnected-documents state because that’s what works, and everyone has their own ideas on how to accomlish it (including me), and here I’ll list some of them and what I am personally doing to help accomplish (any of) them.

• Web 1.1 (reinventingtheweb.com) hypertext standards without scripts
• kyuweb (https://github.com/GarrettAlbright/KyuWeb) .md files instead of HTML and a markdown renderer as a browser. An upgrade to gopher/gemini from what I can gather.
• markweb (https://github.com/1jss/markweb) a JS engine to detect a DOM element with id: markdown and render that as the webpage
• markdowncities (https://github.com/lukal-x/markdowncities, https://markdowncities.ftp.sh) my neocities-adjacent project with the goal of lowering the barrier to entry for self-publishing
• wwwps (https://github.com/lukal-x/wwwps) my project, a very slow but very precise search engine
• … more to come as I discover them
