Comment on No JS, No CSS, No HTML: online "clubs" celebrate plainer websites

  I think because in 10 or so years, there might be a new standard that breaks the site again. Or makes it unusable.

  TXT breakthroughs are still used for a reason. Its much harder to break txt files over decades.

  All that is assuming someone still wants to read your txt but that is besides the point.

    Anyone using basic HTML elements from the first spec of HTML would still be supported in 99+% of cases today. HTML has added lots, and removed very, very, very little.

      Frames still break on some sites. center is still being joked about. Once in a while you still see plaintext on some very old sites.

      And as a dev of over 20 years, I can say for a fact that deprecations will occur. And its all code cruft for modern browsers to navigate. Its easier to let them die. And in 10+ years the txt docs will still work. Mostly. Maybe. :D Unicode emojis make it even more confusing to the conversion.

      If they are useful, people will still use them. We can have both. Modern Browsers that are closer to full scale OSes AND tiny little txt sites that give users info on the given topic.

        even if the website uses deprecated elements, it wont really break. modern browsers will still have compatibility with the old ass tags

  I am someone and I don’t agree.

    JS does a lot of crap that didn’t need doing in the first place. It can be used in a way that improves performance and user experience, but what’s out there is so far from that.

    HTML could maybe be replaced by a specific form of Markdown (one with a real spec), but meh, whatever. Gemini did that, but its limitations are a little too much.
