To be honest, one thing I've been interested in is a totally markdown-only web. You leave everything the same, you just use a Markweb browser as the only thing and it only accesses text/markdown. Then I build Yet Another Protocol Bridge for my blog and no one visits it ever again. That sounds like fun.

The trouble is, people keep extending Markdown to add HTML features. There's even Javascript embedded in Markdown.[1] You'd just create churn, not a fix.

There is no "adding HTML features" to Markdown. Markdown is a superset of HTML. You can simply put HTML tags (including script tags) in your Markdown.

If you interpret Markdown that way, all you've done is encapsulate HTML and JavaScript. Nothing gets simpler.

Exactly the problem.

Check out the gemini:// protocal. There are browsers, search engines, and the whole thing is basically markdown.

its a cool idea, but lacks content. Discoverability is kinda bad as well. All fixable problems. I think it could take off given some good content.

Haha that’s what I was joking about. I already have a Gemini bridge at gemini://g.wiki.roshangeorge.dev and I’ve had maybe two days in its history with any visitors. Funny.

You're looking for Moss.

What protocols does your blog bridge to?

[initramfs]

Moss looks great.

I use LaGrange and Kristall, which support multiple protocols.
