These extensions look really neat for discovering Mastodon and RSS feed. I think I'll check them out.

This would probably be a good thing indeed. We'll see of the web culture will evolve next.

Friendly reminder following the Cloudflare downtime earlier this week.

I use it mostly from the DAV integrations, so I don't notice this much in practice. That said, if and when I have to use the web GUI, it indeed always feel sluggish to me. There might be a reason behind it indeed, those bundles seem way off.

A larger transition coming to HTMX. Interesting choices and good lessons on how to manage the API transition.

There's indeed value at using the URL to store some of the frontend state. This is too often forgotten.

Just use the semantically appropriate HTML element. It makes it easier for browser to advertise the GUI properly.

Looks like the trend is now clear. The reasons for picking a web framework are lessening. It's more and more viable to use the web platform directly.

It's just impressive what we can achieve with instanced rendering. Even the mobile web browsers support it nowadays.

Excellent profile of Tim Berners-Lee.

Go and read it! It'll give a lively impression of the Web early history. It's amazing how, back then, he managed to fend of the greed of corporate interests in order to make sure his original vision would survive. Of course not everything materialized, most notably the Semantic Web (sadly).

Nowadays, the real question is the fragmentation due to the big closed platforms power grab and the political context. Can we still save the Web? For sure there's no clear path yet.

There's some truth in this piece. We never quite managed to really have a semantic web because knowledge engineering is actually hard... and we publish mostly unstructured or badly structured data. LLMs are thus used as a brute force attempt at layering some temporary and partial structure on top of otherwise unstructured data. They're not really up to the task of course but it gives us a glimpse into what could have been.

A tiny piece of history which was instrumental in the way the web and email developed back then.

Interesting take on building software that lasts. I'm not sure I'm fully aligned with this but its good food for thought.

I strongly agree with this piece. There are very interesting web frameworks out there. They should be evaluated on their own merits but are too often just ignored.

Interesting, there are definitely some trends benefiting saner alternatives... But are we really seeing the end of the big social media platforms as we know them? Let's wait and see.

I think this effect is a usability nightmare. That said it's interesting to see which CSS and SVG tricks can be used to simulate it. This opens the door to other effects.

This is nice to see the energy still bubbling in the traditional web. It's still there, next to the big mall pushed by search engines. You just need to know where to look and it's not that hard.

This is already an old article now. Still the core of it still rings true. The optimistic note at the end of it didn't come to pass though.

We got many options nowadays. Most of them are likely better than just making the underline disappear on links.

The idea is interesting... Seeing how the search engine space is degrading quickly I'm tempted to try this actually.
