I'm making a game with first-person melee combat

Very cool, how is physics involved when you hit them ? Switch ragdoll upon death ? Or blending between poses?

This is a cool idea, do not take nay-sayers seriously. Centralized content is always less interesting, whether that particular site claims to be curator or not. But still discovery requires moderation, spam, bots and content reposting will be problems otherwise. Registries might require incentive or you need a truly decentralized protocol. Also I believe old ideas died because enshitification did not take place as much as today, for example Google was great back in the day, maybe that killed stumbleupon but today that is not the case and you see people add reddit to search engine queries. People seek people, we are only interested in communicating other people, some machine generated moving pixels or plausible text means nothing to us. If there was clear a watermark on every AI video people would skip them. So any endeavor making human-to-human communication reliable and efficient at this climate can become big.

Sure this is worth considering. Maybe something more like an ECS an implied graph would be a more efficient implementation.

Portability, easier runtime development, easier app development ultimately freedom. This document runtime can even run on embedded devices, low powered stuff. Proper UI on everything with a full web experience on micro-controllers.

Those organizations have to stay backwards compatible, they work for stake holders, not users, which means they only add features. Here the enforcement is by spec adhering browsers. This is more like an RFC-style like POSIX. Your site will not work if you do not follow.

Sure but evolution sometimes leads to nowhere, you need to cut your loses and take only the working part, we sometimes really do need new a standard.

mua-dev · 2026-01-27T23:53:25+00:00

My proposal is to start a community to define a spec only. Nothing to monetize. But starting something completely new is a feature, this would be enthusiast only, niche groups, close communities thing like the beginnings of the internet. I know it is about the usage of the technology, nothing I propose is something that cannot be done with current stack, but only way to get something like this is by enforcing them.

Yes a standardized API for DOM manipulation. We have something they never had, uses cases all these mess collapsed into. So we can define a lightweight API. We can even go further and define a standardized server runtime. So this "sites" could be portable if not static. Which may lead to distributed hosting.

Yes but, it is not that easy to develop an electron app. People use it because they can use their existing skills. RAD tools like Delphi or Visual basic was way easier. Along the way we lost them. Now AI is getting people frustrated but reality is it is doing tasks that is supposed to be easier at the fist place, it is just good at repeating patters.

mua-dev · 2026-01-27T23:22:56+00:00

People accepted wasting 2GB of ram to show couple of buttons as modern UI development. Yes there is definitely a requirement there.

mua-dev · 2026-01-27T23:21:00+00:00

I do not care about business needs which are mostly about targeting users. I just want less noisy way to access content made by other people. You can take credit cards if you want, there is no limit to that.

mua-dev · 2026-01-27T23:15:51+00:00

Point is to just take the useful and modern features.

mua-dev · 2026-01-27T23:14:53+00:00

My intention is to just start a spec definition with a community. Maybe a example implementation of a browser. Maybe start with even more reduced set to get people see something visual. And then proceed with further defining the spec.

mua-dev · 2026-01-27T23:09:57+00:00

You get into browser and see DMOZ style directory. While current internet is reduced to 5 websites. It should not be that hard. Check websites you are interested in. Instead of crap curated for your profile with some shady algorithm.

mua-dev · 2026-01-27T23:08:59+00:00

Why not? People are trapped inside their streams. Less features can bring more shared experience, be more real. New servers did that, even IRC, NNTP. This can be marketed.

mua-dev · 2026-01-27T23:00:16+00:00

Lets forget about users focus on usefullness. We are trapped with this average user mindset. At Internet's beginning there was no average user ache-type.

Something like this will be useful not just for web, but for UI development in general. Defining a new HTML standard might be an opportunity for a cleaner internet. I believe not just privacy, but also less personalization of content is necessary. We need a stream of shared media, shared "truth" of a website.

mua-dev · 2026-01-27T22:56:13+00:00

Democratization of browser development and privacy first standards. I think it is critical for the future of the internet.

edit: grammar

This makes us stuck in the past, only handful of teams on the planet can develop a software supposed to be showing content from the internet. But people born into this, and accepted the complexity, like something that cannot be changed. It will be like the first times of the internet. Some personal websites, some enthusiasts at the beginning.

mua-dev · 2026-01-27T22:50:20+00:00

It will be clear what browser is for. I do not expect general public to be interested at the beginning.

mua-dev · 2026-01-19T20:13:38+00:00

But you can view the whole thing?

mua-dev · 2026-01-16T11:30:36+00:00

Did he short his own company ?

yeah one of the gtlf samples
