As opposed to home rolled js replacements for browser features?
- baz00 3y agoBoth are terrible. The whole web is terrible. I wish for Gopher, nicely presented PDFs, thick apps and APIs and for the whole hypertext steaming pile of mess to crawl back to where it came from.
- maccard 3y agoGood, performant, well designed apps and systems still exist. Absolute steaming piles of crap that didn't interoeprate existed "before the web" too. > I wish for Gopher, nicely presented PDFs, thick apps and APIs You're free to browse Gopher sites, only read latex documents, and stick to Desktop apps. PDF's are a great example of an absolute steaming pile of nonsense though. They're page layouts (that don't map to my 16:9 widescreen monitor, or to my 20:9 phone), have poor standards for layout and linking, and behind the scenes are just a mess of rules that are practically impossible to interpret, even on PDF's that aren't obfuscated. PDF's are a disaster, and I'd pick a css/js/html document over a PDF any day.
- baz00 3y agoI couldn’t disagree more. It’s nice reading them on my iPad especially properly typeset ones.
