Can we just like, build a new protocol for an alternative web? Maybe something that's way easier/more accessible to create sites for? Cause it's starting to look like http is an evolutionary dead end since it got taken over by megacorps

@eniko I've thought about this too, on the HTML/CSS/JS side, because it's an entire pile of living tech debt

@outfrost @eniko yes! Let's have a CSS equivalent that actually cannot do arbitrary layouts, and isn't totally 100% specified how it should render, so you have to make semantic content and styling suggestions and trust the client to render it nicely enough.

@andrewt I think that's the direction the current stack tried to take things, and it clearly didn't work out.
