So, a few months ago, I thought to make a web-based markup language
and, maybe, just maybe, the problem with the web is HTML, and not HTTP and HTTPS
it's called TextLink and it has a beginner friendly syntax, unlike gemini and gopher
in gemini, a link looks like this
=> /path/to/page.gmi Page
in TextLink, a link looks like this
.link file://path/to/page.txtl Page
it's still buggy, but functional
plus it has something that gemini does not have, and I don't even think HTML has it too
the command is
.input @variable Default Content
first, .input allowed you to get input
when it is displayed it is
(0) Default Content
when you activate it, it says
Input:
you enter your input and press enter
and the content of the input changes, so it is now
(0) New Content
and also, the content is stored in the variable @variable (or whatever other name you give it)
witch you can display with
@variable
witch would display the currant content of @variable
you can also put it in urls like
.link https://localhost/search?@variable Search It Up!
but that is not fully working yet
version 0.1 only has .link and a basic UI
version 0.6 has all of the stuff discussed, but it is not done yet. 99% of it is done, but you can't download it yet
this is a HTTPS link to where you can download v0.1 and v0.6 when it is ready
