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

@zef I've been able to test it out in the browser using gitpod: https://gitpod.io/#https://github.com/silverbulletmd/silverbullet Then click on the server watcher process tab and control-click on the localhost:3000 link to test it. Great work so far! You might also be interested in the Agora work by @flancian for aggregating across multiple markdown #pkm git repositories https://anagora.org/
