    @aral Should be fixed now. Please try again!

    @aral Another example: web browsers (including Firefox or derivatives) will not report the progress of a HTTP POST to the user, for no reason. This makes file uploading without JS painful because you never know when it's going to end.

    My JS-less web application, slcl, is suffering from this issue: https://gitea.privatedns.org/xavi/slcl

    @aral OTOH I feel a lot can be already accomplished with HTML5 and CSS. Extensions are interesting, but I think compatibility with existing web browsers (i.e., small web sites are still accessible from common web browsers) is key for adoption. Otherwise, it might face a similar situation to Gemini, which made itself effectively incompatible with everything else, now becoming a niche protocol.

    @aral The problem with the modern web is the utter complexity that causes hundreds of millions of dollars being spent on its development. We the community must ignore the "open web" specifications dictated by trillion-dollar corporations, and focus on a sane and stable subset that can be easily implemented by the community.

    I had already suggested this very same proposal some time ago: https://xavi.privatedns.org/blog/small-web-browser/

      The Small Web Browser, an inclusive proposal
      Background Almost a year ago, I had some ideas floating around about an alternative to the world wide web, where native executables were downloaded from servers, rather than a mix of HTML, CSS and JS. However, such alternative did not put any care to one of the (IMHO) most serious concerns with the current world wide web: user privacy. Gemini, on the other hand, preferred to design everything from scratch, effectively excluding web content from Gemini, and vice versa.
