We just hit a milesone in Atlantis. We have WebSocket support, client and server. We made a client that listens to the FeedLand stream of new and updated posts. Still waiting to see if that works. But when I started to write the code for this test app last night, I realized after 13 years of mostly working in JavaScript, I wanted to be able to do something like a Node package, so I could do all my code in one outline, instead of five different odb objects. I always thought the way we did it in Frontier could be improved on. So I did a quick voicemail to Claude, and asked for this to be done overnight, and it was. I didn’t complete the design when we worked through it. But what Claude came up with was brilliant and fit into Frontier perfectly. Two major improvements and the first use of both is with each other. I don’t remember that ever happening, and btw — it would have taken at least a week for me to do what Claude did in less than an hour. Hopefully I’ll be able to post some example scripts tomorrow, for people who are interested in seeing the new stuff. #
Google Chrome, nice browser, but it doesn’t support the web. #
This is the era of very powerful bozos. #
How about a Markdown web browser. No CSS, no frameworks, just Markdown files. That would be how you would restart the web in 2026. When you’ve had enough of Google, let me know. I start posting my blog in that space, right away.
Google will not be allowed into this web. Buh bye.
We need our own EFF to keep the Old Arthritic Corporate Excuse-makers for the Tech Industry EFF from fucking it up, same with the W3C. There won’t be a WordPress there to own 81% of the websites. Just Markdown please, we don’t need Gutenberg. The cool thing about it is you could always fork off your own New Web of Whatever. You don’t like Markdown, that’s cool. Maybe the web of SVG or The Web of Hypercard cards. Just make sure you support inbound and outbound RSS.
