#smolweb is going really smol: A first XHTML site is available even through #CoAP.
While this particular site is backed by a big server, an Arduino with an SD card can serve many pages and clients effortlessly.
The idea that there could be a part of the web that is usable by smaller browsers and without any JavaScript support, without hitting walls of JS web apps (which currently also excludes the majority of annoying and intrusive ads, much of the tracking, sites with AI generated non-information, etc.) is one that keeps coming up in my mind.
It would be so nice if the web, or a sbset of it, could be used with sensible use of the possibilities of existing technologies.
It's the web. Hyperlinked text, images, even arbitrary file downloads are possible. There are better ways to implement chats, email, live street navigation, image editing and all the other applications that exist in the web today.
What's the right tag to use for this topic? #SmallWeb#Smolweb#FreeWeb#IndieWeb#OpenWeb ? I guess I'll have to follow all of them to get many posts about this. What else should I look at or follow if I'm interested in seeing such an accessible web become more relevant and usable?
I had to fix several mistakes to get it XHTML strict first (it was supposed to be, but I broke things). Then it was just removing inline styles (which were mostly bad hacks anyway)
Bonjour! http://pulkomandy.tk est maintenant compatible XHTML 1.0 basic, merci à @adele qui essaie de lancer du "small web" en HTML!
It does look perfect for blogs and stuff though. I think I'll mirror my blog to that, once I can work out how to automagically build it for that as well as html in hugo each time, perhaps.
It was sometimes hard, often slow, but always enlightening, instructive and fun. It got me motivated to go further. And I made a couple of friends in the process!
Just found a magazine at the bookstore that mentions the Gemini protocol! It’s Makerspace magazine! Check it out if you haven’t before! #gemini#smolweb
Hey nerds, is anyone still maintaining any Web Rings? I used to love those. I know they don't serve much purpose in the modern corporate internet but it seems like they'd be a good fit for the handmade web. #question#SmallWeb#WebRing#SmolWeb
