Analytics for the smol web and geminispace — Is there a software for analytics that is suitable for the smol web and geminispace? Something as simple as analyzing Nginx/Molly Brown logs and building static HTML with charts, maybe using client-side JS, and running periodically with Cron. Preferably to be in the Debian repositories, but I also consider other options. Free and open-source, of course. I am able to create something like this myself, but I hope to save time and get something well...

Which parts of the web want saving? Which can we do without? — Let’s have an unrealistic hypothetical here. Suppose the http web were replaced entirely by a new protocol (or maybe set of protocols?) which allowed for client side scripting, unrestricted styling, and all the other aspects of the web which make it distinct. Except this time, everything was being built from scratch, with person-first values in mind, like privacy, accessibility, ease of use, etc. The designers of this protocol are...

A humble website list (An interstring experiment) — Like many people here I suppose I'm feed up with the "current" state of the web. Tracking is ubiquitous, you have no expectation of privacy and search results are most of the time utter crap. So I started to simply make manually a list of website I find interesting. I just enter them in some very simple cloud note app so I can get them whenever I need to. In a way its similar to bookmarks but I prefered the "full page" list experience, and...

superTXT — so I'm trying to wrap my mind around this SuperTXT protocol but I'm just not understanding it all that well. It seems to be a version of gemtext that is accessed via SSH based tools. I haven't tried the graphical browser but was wondering if this is the basis of it?
