ARE we moving beyond the WWW (Web)? No, not yet, but maybe the next stage would be to serve over Gopher or BBS (maybe SFTP). At the moment we've only managed to reduce the site to plain text files, updated daily, using a bunch of code we've tested throughout the day. Archiving is done too.

"This is all still work in progress, but hopefully we'll manage to meet/satisfy a growing need to get off the bloated Web and get something more portable instead."Open directly in a text editor (many support opening from a given URL) or fetch with curl/wget, then open in a text editor of choice, even the command line (vi/nano/similar).
There's also an archive (for older days).
This is all still work in progress, but hopefully we'll manage to meet/satisfy a growing need to get off the bloated Web and get something more portable instead. Seems plausible, not just portable.
I myself already read most of the news directly from my text editor, not a Web browser. It removes so much of the noise and unwanted distractions. Privacy gains are a side perk. Only text, presented the way that suits the reader's needs rather than the Webmaster's. Let's (try to) change the way people use the Internet. ⬆
