When I first started playing with Tilt Brush, I had an idea that "VR Comics" (or at least, 3D comics drawn via VR) would be an interesting concept. I'm no artist, but I did manage to whip something up to test the concept: ht

I always read the comments, though sometimes I dread it. For certain subjects I'll know well in advance what most of the comments will be, and they can be surprisingly ignorant and negative.

We need it like we needed "use strict" in JS, which is to say not really, but it really helps. I think of AMP as "HTML Strict", a means of enforcing the rules and practices necessary for faster web sites.

AMP specifications allow for other cache servers, of which CloudFlare[0] has recently implemented one. You could implement your own if you like. AMP also specifies that the canonical page URL should be used when sharing, though the cached U

I like what this offers, however I would prefer to be able to access each individual "report" via a direct command as opposed to a menu. It would make it much more composable.
