Welcome to view-source://.
This is a digital garden broadly dedicated to the web.
The web?
the web. The initial vision of it as a “universal linked information system”1, the revolutionary idea of interlinked information without hierarchy. A truly democratic medium for collaborative human expression.
Right now this work falls into four categories:
Like nature, the more we understand the web, the more we feel motivated to save what is special about it.
This section is primarily informational, background on the fundamental technologies of the web.
The web is under threat. This section takes a look at the forces that would prefer to do away with a user-controlled web. It also includes positive developments.
This section is unabashedly political.
We have the means to build the web we want. Using a mix of yesterday’s technologies and tomorrow’s.
This section aims at practical advice for beginners that want to make a home for themselves on the web.
While thinking about these things, ideas accumulate. Not all of them good or practical.
This is a place to post ideas for things that could serve the goal of strengthening the web.
