The Web began dying in 2014 (2017)
- austin-cheney 2y agoYes, it’s time for a successor format designed from the ground up based on 35 years of lessons learned. For example the DOM scares the shit out of people. If you want to identify cowards have them write simple DOM traversal without query strings. I have an idea how that should work a bit more elegantly and simultaneously increase performance. Secondly, almost nobody can write HTML correctly, considering accessibility and SEO. HTML should be replaced by markdown extended with identifiers. Visual rendering should not redraw the entire page when layout changes. All that should rerender is the modified node and its containing tree. Oh this list could go on and on.
