It’s a great way to get readers and consumers to become writers and creators

  Except now it’s not, really. Squarespace, blogs, even Twitter is a far better set of tools that are much easier, handle hosting and distribution etc.

      It's not even necessary for compression -- gzip is decent and transparent.

        It's not done for compression, it's about tree-shaking and bundling dependencies.

        And failing in weird abd obscure ways if your browser is slightly outside the mainstream. Like if it's SeaMonkey.

        I highly doubt that that has anything to do with minification/tree shaking. My guess would be JavaScript feature and API support.

        You mean "not chrome?"

    I didn’t say it was the best. It’s easily accessible, people can learn the ins and outs of html directly. Hosting on a baked in service will be easier, this tool is meant to be used for other purposes.

  Good point – I'd nearly forgotten about design mode! I wonder what other browsers include a user-facing feature and UI to enable it and make it useful? You can enable it in the javascript console (document.designMode = 'on') , but the lack of an editing UI makes it less useful. The onramp to web page creation – and javascript programming in the browser for that matter[1] – is tantalizingly close. I wish it were a bit more discoverable in mainstream browsers.
