I long for a world wide web that goes back to basics: Markdown for text, JPEG or PNG for images, *no* Javascript or other client-side execution, designed to be writable by a human being with a simple text editor and no fucking interactive/dynamic bullshit. Make it as advertising hostile as possible. And above all keep it *small* (as in: a large, sprawling web site should fit on 16Mb USB stick).
In other words, web like it's 1996 again.
@cstross In 1996, I could copy-paste vector graphics, sounds, animations and even 3D models…
@cstross looking at how many people are starting to publish their sites in gopher or gemini... yeah, a lot of us. a *lot* of us yearn for that ^_^

I'm probably one of the few people who can still code an html website. I began doing it text only in the late 90s, but now use a very old piece of software called Kompozer (Mozilla). Yes, I still have a website like that.
