hypermedia.lol Makes the Case for the Browser
A sharp editorial site arguing that HTML and CSS already handle more of the web than developers tend to let them.
Field notes
The project organizes its argument as a dated series of short essays, with examples ranging from SPA navigation and cache behavior to six-digit authentication inputs and modal design. Its contribution rule is unusually concrete: submit one Markdown or HTML file with no JavaScript, after which a sometimes-benevolent dictator may merge or rewrite it. The site also exposes RSS, llms.txt, and source links, and identifies three scripts used for demonstrations, copying, sharing, and analytics.
