As for HTML, many sites don't do that anymore. Their domains are just an anchor for JavaScript or WASM "webapps". They're not sites but "resources" and they're not user-friendly in any way; it's not even possible to link to things in them. [07:19] TR News That means that "the Web" isn't what "the Web" meant in the 90s. It's just some vague concept and many conflate that with "apps". [07:21] TR News Geminispace does not do "webapps".
