gwit is a minimalist system for a Web of replicated, host-neutral, lightweight sites backed by Git.

Interesting system. However, this system is designed around the notion of keeping the history by default, which is wrong. History is to be thrown away by default, that's what the modern Web gets right.

An alternative for the World Wide Web - browse websites such as buss://yippie.rizz made in HTML, CSS and Lua. Custom web browser, custom HTML rendering engine, custom search engine, and more. - fac...

So the author says. They say, the right metaphor is songs! This is non-sensical, documents are the right metaphor, and we should do our best to preserve it.

The author of the website claims to know a bit about hypertext, and they do, but look at this URL! How to fix it? UPD. From the computer I managed to close the extra tabs on the page which were not visible on the phone and fix the URL.

An archiving HTTP proxy and on-disk archival format for websites.

woob is a collection of applications able to interact with websites, without requiring the user to open them in a browser. It also provides well-defined APIs to talk to websites lacking one.

The author argues that many relations can be represented with hyperlinks. He is right though. A good read.

As you look around for a new social media platform, I implore you, only use one that is a part of the World Wide Web. tl;dr avoid Hive and Post.

Parses HTML responses and rewrites a simplified light weight version.

Rewrite rules are written in lua using standard CSS selectors.

Felix shows us how little one needs to make a website.

Lichen is the simplest possible CMS for the web that is friendly enough for non-technical users. It is extremely lightweight.

It uses gemtext, a good choice.

TL;DR: Closed registrations solve problems.

Here I monitor if my websites are online with https://upptime.js.org.

A deconstruction of some of the more interesting bits we found hiding in the WorldWideWeb source code

The very interesting part for me is the CSS predecessor:

Normal <P> 0 Helvetica 12.0   1
	90 90	14.0 3.0  0  0 14	0

HTML-based asset library and background on the WorldWideWeb NeXT browser

The first browser

Not so good.

I am sorry for linking such a ridiculously made website.

This page provides four different readability algorithms, implemented using the Open Source Markdown Editor Zettlr.

I just rediscovered a question I wrote on Stack Exchange. I can’t remember much about the context, but the idea is to have an ordinary “web server” application accessed through http, but simply sending plain-text backwards and forwards to a command-line based client.
