What killed the web are js-app sites that don't work in mobile, along with the 1MB webpages that contain everything and the kitchen sink right on the page that also don't work in mobile (can't resize, font too small, javascript popups, flash popups, etc)
What is needed is a return to the basic: plain html sites that don't assume unlimited bandwidth, that let the browser render the content, that don't need images, tables, etc.
Most people have limited data plans and would like to keep most of it for music/video, not monstruously large web pages.
- erichocean 13y agoYou forgot to mention CSS. That's a major reason why even non-JS sites render poorly on mobile.
- chris_mahan 13y agoYes, you're right. I was going to mention it, but I thought it would be understood. Sadly, because sites are so bad on mobile, mobile browsers don't do pinch-to-zoom anymore, and that messes my html-only (no css, no js, valid html5) pages utility.
