There was Web 1.0. Then there was Web 2.0. Now we find ourselves in the era of Web Pi (3.14159). This humorous term comes from one of my favourite comments that I once found on HN. Quoting the comment from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30139081 > below: > Nice read. Firm supporter of Web Pi (3.1415). When it comes to building for the web today, I'm always amazed that "so much can be done with so little" and ye…

Web 3.0 used to be the term we used for the semantic web.

Under that perspective it's not Web 3.0 yet.

It's awesome! Thank you! Just the other day I was thinking that 99% of things is in echochaimer; same dozen of companies pushing same dozen of narratives over then same dozen of apps and the internet is boring and hopeless and everything is the same now.

I landed on this very strange, albeit lovingly crafted, site: http://www.cmkosemen.com/snaiad_web/snduterus.html I felt compelled to share the strange experience with everyone else.

Conworlding is a big thing, although people mostly work out the politics and history of invented nations, or their languages, fauna is a very honorable pursuit too!

I kind of miss the old web. Not for it's design asthetic but for it's purpose. Every site seems solely focused on the info. Contrasting today, it feels like everyone wants to look and feel that same.

Interesting comment about the focus on the "info". I wonder if, in some subtle way, Wikipedia is somewhat responsible for the decline of these kinds of sites. If you want to quickly get some (probable) facts and information on a given topic, wikipedia is where you go.

The first time I found and read wikipedia was after discovering warhammer 40k. There was a single page with fluff about everything up to that point. It took me a few days to read through after school. The effort in that article could have made 10+ sites.

I love this. Does anyone know how the list was compiled? I would suspect a custom web crawler that only indexes sites using certain tags. Which makes me wonder if there are any sites that would qualify with the exception of a modern js advertisement someone slapped on. I

Someone guy this site: https://upallnight.wtf/screens/screens whose tds shows that it's modern, but follows the right aesthetic.
