Jan SchaumannI miss Web 1.0. You click a link, you get to the website, you read the content. What a concept.

@darwinwoodka @dpk @jschauma I used 1995 on purpose. I was there :)

We didn't have much in the way of dynamic content in 1995, either.
I think the first time I saw a website working with JS was theglobe dot net in 1996.
The free browsers didn't get JS until a bit later.

Jeroen Wiert Pluimers@nekoplanet @dpk @jschauma @janl I still have JavaScript disabled by default and only enable on sites that strictly need it.
When I see the Christmas tree that other people experience when browsing the web, I feel blessed.

ARK@spyonmetoo I still have the automated animated gifs of the 1990s, making websites a headache in motion. Even for the mailadress, we had a letterbox opening-closing-opening-closing...

eddie@jschauma Hopefully the Web 5.0 is something like that again. No idea what Web 4.0 will be like though.

neverbeaten@jschauma
Some sites like that still exist, but they're not promoted by google in search results very well.
Kagi has a "small web" tool and focus that ONLY shows you those small web sites.
lxskllrThis is an old web search engine...
I don't necessarily endorse it. I kinda forgot I had the link, but ran into it recently when inspecting my old bookmarks. Might be fun.
@byAndreas🤟😌✨@jschauma Fairytales… ;)
Davi Ottenheimer@jschauma agree! www.flyingpenguin.com since 1995. still going... spent the last six years working directly for TimBL, didn't change a thing.
Ian K. Rogers ikr?╭ರ_ಠ@jschauma well ok but how do we make it "sticky" haha
Lyle Solla-Yates@jschauma I blame Rick Astley. It was perfect until then
Boris BarbourInstead of being routed through Substack and Google and God knows where else.
Joe Vinegar 🏳️🌈@jschauma may I interest you in the Gemini Protocol?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemini_(protocol)
sadly I cannot find any newly updated clients for Android, the most recent I use is Buran from 2022
https://f-droid.org/packages/corewala.gemini.buran
but I loved the gemini capsules.
And I just discovered the writing counterpart, Titan:
https://communitywiki.org/wiki/Titan
Denez Van DyckThere is a repository for the Lagrange client that can be added to the F-Droid app:
Samuel Smith@jschauma and pages optimized for slow internet connections!

Seppo Helava@jschauma @briankrebs …and the content was written because someone wanted to write it, not optimize for search hits or AI nonsense or ad engagement.

Gabriel Markley@jschauma Me too! Remember the old days lol.
@jschauma Search engines were so useless that curated lists - aka web rings - and trading bookmarks over IRC was the search engine :D

Chris Petrilli@jschauma we have strayed too far from the <MARQUEE>.
