The resurrected No JS Club honors sites that don’t employ Javascript, the effective but occasionally used code that has been bloating the internet and crashing tabs since 1995. Even a tiny bit of design is forbidden by the , which goes one step further. Additionally, there is the Little HTML Club, where you are not yet permitted to use HTML. websites with simple words!
The modern web is the pure incarnation of evil. When Satan has a 1v1 with his manager, he confers with the modern web. If Satan is Sauron, then the modern web is Melkor [1]. Every horror that you can imagine is because of the modern web. Modern web is not an existential risk (X-risk), but is an astronomic suffering risk (S-risk) [2]. It is the duty of each and every man, woman, and child to revolt against it. If you're not working on returning civilization to ooga-booga, you're a bad person.
A compromise with the clubs is called for. A hypertext brutalism that uses the raw materials of the web to functional, honest ends while allowing web technologies to support clarity, legibility and accessibility. Compare this notion to the web brutalism of recent times, which but soon became a : sites using 2.4MB frameworks to add text-shadow: 40px 40px 0px hotpink to 400kb Helvetica webfonts that were already on your computer.
I like the idea of using “hypotext” as an reversal of web, too. This may somehow prevent the failing modes that allow for more enjoyable failures by expanding the text’s structure. However, I’m divided on whether that would be just a toy ( for example, references are banished to metadata, such as footnotes are the hypertext ) or something more conceptual that uses references to collapse the structure of text rather than extend it ( for example, links are included and getting near them your brain ). There are 2 million words of French that I must study second if I want to get away with any of this, which is already in use in a constructivist feeling.
