Text/Plain Blog
- Terr_ 3mo agoAs much as I dislike some of the crazy Javascript messes these days, if the user has to copy-paste URLs that's a sign one went too far in the other direction. :P Come to think of it, another interpretation of "a love-letter to text" would be designs catering to text-mode browsers (e.g. Links, Lynx) which could also overlap with accessibility for the blind.
- shanewei 3mo agoI get the love letter to text thing, but this is almost too bare. Copy-pasting every URL makes it feel like an unfinished apartment.
- 3rly 3mo ago+1. I love this concept but no links defeats the original intent of the web (automated information sharing). I actually maintain a sort of plaintext blog as the "dev right of passage" of creating one's own static site generator: https://blog.lvrz.org/ https://blog.lvrz.org/ Very much inspired by phrack.org, BBS, dylanaraps KISS website, plaintextsports, et. al.
- necovek 3mo agoNot at my laptop to check with inspector, but does it at least use next/prev type "Link" headers (even if no browser would consume them)?
- necovek 3mo agoFWIW, only the RSS feed is offered with a "Link" of alternate type in the headers: a missed opportunity, if you ask me :)
