Clean start for the web
Tom MacWright shares some thoughts around how the web loses on performance and accessibility because web pages continue to grow in size and complexity.
He makes a distinction between the document web (blogs etc.) and the application web. He suggests to create an alternative browser for the document web which supports a lightweight markup language like Markdown.
The problem is that the “document web” is often plagued by application characteristics - it’s the JavaScript and animations and complexity that makes your average newspaper website an unmitigated disaster.
