On that subject, there's a video that it would be great it every American watched. It's made by a group called Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth. It's about evidence that explosives were used on 9/11. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ddz2mw2vaEg

> "Truther" movement (which does include some genuine crackpots)

No contest. Just for anyone reading this, please remember that having crackpots in a movement doesn't make it a crackpot movement.

In addition to traditional client-server webapps, what about making local-only apps that just happened to be written in HTML, JS, and CSS? Possibly with a package manager run by the browser?

Neocities is perhaps another one of those websites where it would be nice if HN included more than two levels of the domain name in parentheses.

e.g. instead of

> The 10 Megabyte Manifesto (neocities.org)

you would have

Eventually there will be someone posting on HN about how they built a GUI to make to the SubWeb accessible for everyone. :)

What are you envisioning for the SubWeb? A geek-only web? Just curious.

I'm not sure you have to be an American to sign these petitions.
