    Someone in the industry here.

    Sadly there’s no money or hype in developing broken pages, as cool and fun as it sounds. Especially with the high speed connection people have these days.

    I guess the concept of webpages as documents had fallen out of favor especially that dynamic contents became more prevalent. This is even true for Lemmy.

      Lemmy could be a Gemini service. Geminispace has such a social network. I wonder if one could make a Lemmy frontend for Gemini, working similarly.

      Purely webpages as documents that would be, a curious Jedi find out may.

      It’s fallen out of favor simultaneously with reduced competitiveness, I think these are connected. That’s why there’s no money in making normal websites. The potentially competitive by usability niche is taken by platforms.
