I'll drop this idea again: a pure Markdown version of the web. The Web 0.5 if you will. No fancy markup, lay-outs, popups, GDPR notices, or scary tracking. Just content. Wouldn't that be nice?

I'm suggesting Markdown over plain text to still allow things like headings, emphasis and other semantic markup (and images of course). A subset of HTML would also do. HTML 1.0?

Secretly I'm already creating this, e.g. see https://silverbullet.md/changelog/ and https://silverbullet.md/changelog.md

Which you can browse using #SilverBullet. If you have SB running on localhost:3000 this works: http://localhost:3000/%F0%9F%92%AD_silverbullet.md/CHANGELOG

Leaving aside that Mastodon doesn't like URLs with emojis apparently 😅
