We need to move away from HTML. It's a fully captured spec that's continuously bent towards the needs of its ad-supported patron. We don't need an alternative browser, we need an alternative interaction platform, built from the ground up for extreme resistance to third-party advertising, interactive experiences with a sensible layout model unencumbered by decades of cruft, with full support for end-user introspection and alteration from day 1.
- CodeGlitch 5y agoWas going to post something similar - but I think you capture my thoughts eloquently. I would add that HTTP itself needs to be redesigned, as it favours the client-server model too much. Something like IPFS? Although that doesn't seem to have caught on.
- politician 5y agoAgreed, but also: HTTP 3.0 is so far removed from HTTP 1.1 that they shouldn't be share the same name.
