It's both pleasing and a little disappointing to see this being "marketed" under the name "web0" --- especially on a "nonstandard" TLD. All websites used to be simple handwritten hyperlinked pages. I guess what's old is new again? Of course, Big Tech would want you to use its browser (not browser_s_) and indulge in the insane complexity of "the web stack" which guarantees its monopoly, but it doesn't have to be that…

an aside, but .computer has been a valid top-level domain since 2013-2014:

https://icannwiki.org/.computer

these are fully standard.

I wrote my first grad student website in raw HTML. In Vi, on a Unix mainframe, over SSH. It was fun, but I don't blame developers for trying to make things more composable and reusable. I'm big on tools that let you build plain static HTML pages, but rendered from templated components.

I don't understand, how is this different to me just serving a plain HTML page with the latest Nginx Docker image and claiming we're back to Web 0? Is there something special about this page specifically e.g. not being hosted on a normal web server?

yes, did you feel the energy?

Ah, yes, I remember this from web0: Trying to make web3 go away is just as pointless as trying to make web2 go away. It's here, it's going to stick around. Yes, there's a lot of hype, it probably won't look the same in 10 years, and yes there's a lot of charlatans, but I think ignoring its importance is myopic.

when the folks with the laser eyes won't even look at the existing systems which can be used to extend the web in a standards-compliant way, then we have every right to be dismissive of their position ( holding bags ). They have every right to come to the table at the W3C. The federated social web has existed since 2008. It is the real web3 .

"The folks with laser eyes" are affectionately known as bitcoin maxis, and they have more interest in web0 than in web3.

Yeah, the Web is supposed to be decentralized from Web 1.0, right? Or is this wrong?

It's supposed to be, and it is. Every domain points to a different node in the decentralized web. Just because some nodes are massively popular doesn't mean the technology is not decentralized. Popular nodes will always exist in every decentralized vision of the internet.
