There could be a way:
This HTML-lite spec would be subset of current standard so that if you open this HTML lite page in normal browser it would still work. but HTML-lite browser would only open HTML-lite sites, apart from tech itch it could be used in someplace where not full browser is needed, especially if you are control content generation.

- much richer markdown format ?
- zero_bias 10mo agoIt’s called WML/WAP
- AtlasBarfed 10mo agoI think we can do better than a 15x15 text window
- exasperaited 10mo agoWML/WAP got a bad rap I think, largely because of the way it was developed and imposed/introduced. But it was not insane, and it represented a clarity of thought that then went missing for decades. Several things that were in WML are quite reminiscent of interactions designed in web components today.
- anthk 10mo agoGopher today (and even more Gemini) can do almost anything Wap did but without being a dead platform.
- exasperaited 10mo agoHave you read the WML 1.x spec? Let alone WML 2.x which never really happened. It had much more interesting scope than Gemini does. Gemini is not a good or sensible design. It's reactionary more than it is informed.
