mid-90's web embraced weirdness and creativity. Primarily recognizing that we get so much info visually.
Gemini says: no, it's only text, no creativity or weirdness allowed. While I sort of understand where the authors are coming from, I think they threw the baby (or some of the baby) away with the bathwater.
Yes, some of this can be rectified by clients (like the insistence that images must be external), but clients can only take it so far.
- bovermyer 4y agoYou're saying that text cannot be weird or creative? I wonder if you're limiting yourself there.
- dmitriid 4y agoWhen all you have is plain text, sure, you can get creative with that text. Space Jam website it won't be https://www.spacejam.com/1996/ https://www.spacejam.com/1996/
- billyhoffman 4y agoIt’s not text only. It’s 1 page == 1 request. Meaning that a page can have links to images but a client will not fetch them and display them inline. This prevents cross-site tracking where view a page forces the client to also make a request to a 3rd party like an ad or web bug I built an entire geography guess game in Gemini. It uses images.
