FWIW that's exactly what AMP is. It's not a W3C standard, but a standard nonetheless: https://www.ampproject.org/docs/get_started/create/basic_markup https://www.ampproject.org/docs/get_started/create/basic_mar...
- taylorbuley 10y agoI'd love them to standardize the serving aspects, in addition to the formatting aspects. Changes like these seem somewhat arbitrary but yet impact everything end-to-end.
- rocqua 10y agoAMP is more though. Or if you want to define AMP narrowly, google does a lot more with AMP than just the standard.
- callahad 10y agoAMP is not a standard. It is a Google product with developer documentation, but that documentation does not make it a standard any moreso that Twitter having an API makes it a standard. AMP allows your websites to rank better / more prominently within Google and Bing, but it comes at the cost of ceding control of markup itself to Google. A truly open standard would not have hard dependencies on a single for-profit corporation.
- kuschku 10y agoSo, it’s only a standard, there’s no AMP Cache, no AMP Viewer, no requirement for loading Google’s JS? That’d be a solution. This is merely a workaround.
- throwaway91111 10y agoSo what the hell is up with google search results? I don't get the connection. What is stopping google from just giving me the URL?
