This is why BitTorrent and other P2P solutions were invented, but alas:
A. The RIAA, MPAA, and ESA have given these technologies a terrible reputation.
B. Nobody likes to seed. Some kind of seeding-based crypto would have been a great incentive if cryptocurrency wasn't also demonized by now.

Why rounded corners? Why a bookmarks bar at the bottom instead of a proper taskbar? Can we please stop copying MacOS?

I've had this idea for something in between Gemini and the modern web that's essentially supposed to capture how the web was in the late 90s/early 00s. Basically just HTML/CSS with GET and POST, no scripting at all.
I don't have the expertise to write this, unfortunately.

I really do hate how it's just assumed we know what's clickable and what isn't.
