I always like to refer to Ian Hickson's Requirements for Replacing the Web [0] when this topic comes up. They seems to encapsulate well the social, technological and economic dynamics required when discussing replacing the Web. However, few attempts (Crockford's Seif Project [2], MS's Project Atlantis and Project Gazelle [2][3][4][5]) seemed have to heed this wisdom.

- jancsika 8y ago> I always like to refer to Ian Hickson's Requirements for Replacing the Web [0] when this topic comes up. It's not that hard. Just iterate on any idea old that's even slightly more appealing to hack on than a full-blown browser. That includes... let's see... nearly anything! Then just be smart and dedicated about specifying the behavior of the new thing and figuring out workarounds for the awful parts. Ian Hickson did it[0].
