@gcluley That's a contradictory design, but fun nonetheless... 😅 One problem I see it doesn't promote an idea of tracker-less #WorldWideWeb, but offers individual users to #BuildTheWall.
:worldwideweb_app: Developing HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for the web just got a whole lot easier: we’re happy to announce a new version of WorldWideWeb with major improvements to auto refresh. Check out the video below or visit our blog to learn more. 🌐 #WebDev#HTML#CSS#JavaScript#WWWApp#NotZelda
I still think #WorldWideWeb should retain all the easy #frontend development features—no need to strip that out. But a proxy port field with an optional URI path that shunts requests there instead of the static folder would be great.
On April 30, 1803, The United States purchases the Louisiana Territory from from the French First Republic for $15 million, more than doubling the size of the country.
Also, that's $40 billion in today's dollars.
France only controlled a small fraction of this area, most of which was inhabited by Native Americans which the U.S. would have to obtain by treaty or by conquest.
After the NCSA released the Mosaic web browser later that year, the Web's popularity grew rapidly as thousands of websites sprang up in less than a year.
Earlier, The Gore Bill helped fund the National Center for Supercomputing Applications, which team developed the Mosaic web browser.
I don't think people appreciate the role that #OperaSoftware played in fostering the #OpenWeb and #IndieWeb during the first #browserWar (when the #OperaBrowser was still built on their proprietary #Presto engine), and a fortiori the role it had in their demise (when they switched to being “just another #WebKit/#Blink skin”), despite their browser never even reaching a 3% market share.
And one of the keys to an open anything is ease of access. And sure enough, there are still plenty of dedicated tools to access specific parts of the #Internet that are not the #WorldWideWeb: clients for FTP, gopher, finger, USENET, email, IRC or even new hypertext navigation protocols like #Gemini exist.
But why should I need a different client for each when I could access the whole Internet from a single client?
Happy 'Internaut Day!' It's been 32 years since British scientist Tim Berners-Lee revolutionized the internet with his invention of the World Wide Web. He initially built it to store and collaborate on documents across the internet, but it soon became so much more, paving the way for the first web browser, search engine and social media site. You can still view the first ever website!
29 years ago on October 1st, 1994, Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web, established the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
The W3C played a role in the evolution of the web by creating and overseeing standards like HTML and CSS. These standards are the foundation of web development, enabling websites to be accessible across different browsers and devices
i have a really bad habit of polishing a turd until it gleams like japanese fake food, so i've decided to launch my new game studio's web site before i'm happy with it:
as i promised in an earlier post, i am documenting every step of the process of building a new game studio, and a new game at the same time.
i'll post at least once a week on the journal, and expand the site with game development tutorials in the coming weeks. 😅
oh and - for you #WorldWideWeb nerds out there: the entire site is generated on-the-fly with handwritten shaitan-approved PHP from text files, using a vile markup language i invented on my own without asking an adult first. it also features an #rss feed on the journal page, for those of you who find browsing profane
