@fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com the things Gemini has going for it are mutual TLS and lack of JavaScript. Which makes for a secure albeit boring experience (much like gopher). The fake markdown is a bit of a drag.
A render mode for Gemini probably wouldnt be too hard. There are markdown to Gemini libs out there.
With Web3 the whole trust a 3rd party browser ext + high fees + env impact for compute and storage are serious no gos for me.. I have heard one too many horror stories about clicking the wrong link and some script draining your metamask wallet.
JavaScript : web apps
I understand the hate for JavaScript. But what option is there for writing web enabled applications for desktop / mobile?

@prologic Is there a desire to, in the future, add some opt-in AJAX to refresh the Timeline?

@fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com A delay is fine. Just, sometimes I’ll do something else, and look back at my feed a few hours later and forget that I haven’t refreshed the feed. And I totally support making sure the experience continues to be first-class for folks opting out of Javascript.

If your website is not static, it is not a website: it is an application, & should be distributed as an executable. If your website contains javascript, it is not a website: it is an application & should be distributed as an executable.
If it doesn’t work properly with javascript turned off, it’s not really a website. If it doesn’t work properly with css turned off, it’s not really a website. If it doesn’t work properly in a text-only environment, it’s not really a website.

Javascript is a just-OK language saddled with the world’s worst graphics toolkit: three distinct languages, each with specs so large that nobody has written a new implementation in 20 years, for live-editing a rich tech document to make it resemble a canvas, in ways that are not portable between the 3 implementations or minor revisions of the same implementation.
The easiest path to GDPR compliance: switch to a completely static website with no javascript, CGI, or CSS, and rotate the logs daily.

Decode It Like It’s 1999
A few years ago I started to work on an MPEG1 Video decoder, completely written in JavaScript. Now, I finally found the time to clean up the library, improve its performance, make it more error resilient and modular and add an MP2 Audio decoder and MPEG-TS demuxer. This makes this library not just an MPEG decoder, but a full video player.
In this blog post I want to talk a bit about the challenges and various interesting
bits I discovered during the development of this library. You’ll … ⌘ Read more
