> I would love to see some sort of reboot of the web with simple protocols
There's the Gemini ecosystem, but it feels a bit like they overcorrected and now it's overly limiting.
There's the Gemini ecosystem, but it feels a bit like they overcorrected and now it's overly limiting.
However, different people (including myself) have different ideas about what it should and shouldn't be.
My idea is that the WWW has way too much messy, bad stuff, complexity, etc; however, there are also some stuff that WWW does not have even though it might be good to do.
(Therefore I made up Scorpion protocol and file format, according to my own criticism of Gemini protocol. There is also Spartan, that someone else did, but I have some criticism of that, too (e.g. why is a user name and password allowed in the URL even though they are not used?).)
…May we have links to both of those? For science.
