Thank you! I looked through their damn webpage (hosted very much somewhere) and they didn't link a single example!
Actually they do have one, but it's an older beta format that isn't supported anymore.
Oh the irony

Re: nowhere: an entire website encoded in a URL
#62I did a showhn with similar idea(got a whooping 1 point and was flagged as spam which was later removed by mods), you paste your html and it encodes it into url, you can share the url without server involvement. I even added a url shortener because while technically feasible encoded url becomes long and QR code no longer works reliably. I also added annotation so you can add your comments and pass it to colleagues. h…
1. How does this work? window.open('about:blank'); and then a document write?
2. The share svg icons look very broken.

#63By the way, there is also itty.bitty.site with the same idea

#64Cool idea. I like decentralized architectures that are more durable. But personally, I believe a Single-File Web App (https://gods.art/articles/single_file_web_apps.html) is even more durable.

#65"There is a part of a URL called the fragment, the text after the #. By design, fragments are never sent to servers. They exist only in the browser, only on the device, only at the moment of access.
Nowhere puts everything there. An entire website compressed and encoded in a string of characters. There is no server holding it. There is no account it belongs to. There is no company you need permission from. The link is the site. Wherever the link travels, the site travels with it."
I am so tired of this type of phrasing... OMG, this is gonna change the world!!!
...
And we are just starting out... oh boy...
Anyone up for working on a new internet, designed for keeping stuff like this an the people who produce it, out?
Re: nowhere: an entire website encoded in a URL
#66This is cool and fun, but the sites created by this wouldn't be accessible through search engines as its not hosted anywhere. So, its just like sending your sites link through email/whatsapp or any other channel. I don't know what the real usecase for this idea could be!!!!
Digital restaurant menus!
so they’d need to change their QR codes every time the menu changes?

#67> hosted nowhere > present everywhere > Still here when the internet isn't I'm afraid the OP may not have full understanding of how internet works. This is either some kind of a post irony, or some vibe code fever dream. Either way, I'm deeply confused.

#69> The internet promised freedom. Platforms delivered permission. > Private through physics. Not through policy. Goodness, LLM really convinced itself this was groundbreaking. You could describe a .html file sitting on your computer with all of the same marketing bluster. Someone has to send it to you all the same, and you might as well not rely on some random internet service to render it??

#70You have to fish around to figure out how to make your URL, only to find out it is some browser extension.
