#144I've never quite understood the gripe people have with modern web development. React took off in ~2015 and the only thing that has really changed about it is how you do state management (flux -> redux -> hooks). Plenty of frontends still rely on jQuery which can easily be sprinkled into a frontend, and the API hasn't really changed in nearly 20 years. What is the author advocating that we adopt this html-only approac…

Why though? Just make it simple and functional. No need to get complex.
> I would expect that if Banking portals, EHR's, CRM's (name any other service even moderately complex) were stitched together with a series of html documents and forms, customers wouldn't be as excited about that.
Why should customer excitement force us to create over-complicated solutions?

#145It's funny that web3 is being sold as the decentralized web when that's what the internet architecture was literally designed for -- to survive an apocalyptic nuclear war. However, big players used their ability to purchase infrastructure and unforeseen flaws in the protocols to centralize much of the activity on the web. Lol if you think money can't do that to any decentralized architecture. One thing that would at…
I 100% agree. Imagine if self-hosting was taught in schools. Would Facebook and GMail be this big? I'm dreaming of an alternate universe where you read your friends microblogs through RSS, with the client and timeline algorithm of your choice. Everyone has his own mail server, with proper open-source spam filters. Open-source is a public service, receiving donations from governments. We were so close to this.
We were never close to this. You have to accept we need nurses, hairdressers and farmers and these people cant be expected to do the work required to maintain a critical email server on top of everything else they have to do.
Look I heard in the US some people even have several jobs, I suppose by end of your second or third shift of the day, the last thing you want to do is a log4j patch type upgrade... doubly so when it's christmas and the kids are noisy.

#146Earlier quoted context omitted.
I am a backend engineer by trade, and I have been trying to learn me a little React because I decided I should learn new tech (not the stuff I use on a daily basis, which is Python) on side projects. So the backend is being done in Rust, and frontend is using React. I had this moment where I thought "well, I need Typescript, because I want nicely typed interfaces and contracts, and I need React". Turns out it's not e…
You didn't need TypeScript. That was your first mistake. If you had chosen Create-react-app (the official boilerplate) - that's all you need. Hello world right out of the box. Nothing blows up in your face. Nothing mind-boggling. I've never had to ever run eject. Nothing saddening, nothing tiring. In fact- just the opposite. Happiness, joy, energizing React productivity.
You can literally pass a flag to that command to get all the same stuff in Typescript. Don’t yuck someone else’s yum.

If I’m understanding the key feature of blockchain-based stuff, it’s that it’s not just decentralized but distributed, right? Content is replicated across a whole lot of computers, rather than just sitting on one, and any modifications made along the way are a matter of public record, and recorded in a way that’s hard to tamper with. Like a number of other people here, I primarily associate blockchain/crypto stuff wi…
This is NOT because of blockchain. This is because of IPFS. These are two technologies that are being conflated because in theory crypto can be used to pay for IPFS.

#148I think this website is a sales pitch for their patreon, which itself doesn't seem to be doing anything meaningful to advocate for web0. A funding goal is to "publish a guide on tapping the raw power of HTML". I mean, just google how to write HTML.
I do think we should be conservative about complexity in websites, but advocating for removing interactivity and styling (js/css) seems too idealistic and simply contrarian. So I definitely think this is a good conversation starter, but not a serious goal.

#149I recently also wrote my own page in bare html, in nano, on my shell account at the server, which I get s a member service to hobby club.
It delightfully old school and writing bare ugly html works okay for me, I can actully concentrate on the content instead of learning how to use and maintain a cms.
It is my main homepage and very portable if I ever need to change hosts for example. Its kainda like 2003 again for me, when I had a 100MHz AMD K5 box with 64mb ram and 1gb ide hdd serving my homepage over my parents adsl connection.
Too bad bare html looks a bit bad on mobile.

The ‘web’ is still just as decentralized as before. Provided you keep a list of hostnames/ips you want to connect to, and a continent is wiped off the map, it’ll neatly route the traffic through the remaining nodes.
Anyone that actively wants to can fairly easily obtain a stable IPv4 IP, or even IPv6, it’s not that it isn’t available, it’s that nobody uses it.
I’m sure my home connection has a stable IPv6 address, but I honestly wouldn’t be able to notice from the name whether it had changed or not, too many friggin characters.
