Show HN: An Absurdly Compatible Website

2 points

4 years ago

Hey all, I was inspired by the other thread to make a quick video demo of what an Absurdly Compatible Website may look like when implemented.

This one does have some JavaScript, but degrades gracefully and supports text-mode browsers, no-JS browsing, and all the classics like IE3 and NN3 and Lynx.

Kudos to anyone who can name all the browsers used in the demo, I think it's more than 20 different ones :)

You can also check out the site live at http://RocketScience.click or https://RocketScience.click, at least until it's hugged.

The framework for this is a static-dynamic hybrid site generator with full transparency and decentralizability, which I'm just preparing for this weekend's MIT Bitcoin Expo, so please let me know if you find any issues.

Code is on GitHub: https://www.github.com/gulkily/RocketScience
