XHTML Validation Website as Protest Against Modern Web Bloat
By
bradley_taunt
Plain bagel done well. Pleasantly substantive.
Summary
A software developer maintains a website dedicated to XHTML validation as a protest against modern web bloat. The site serves as both a collection of XHTML-valid websites and a personal blog where the author expresses frustration with the increasing complexity of contemporary web development. The author clarifies that this is not a manifesto for returning to the 'classic web' but simply a space where valid XHTML is respected despite the internet having moved on to other technologies.
Key quotes
· 5 pulledThis website is both a collection of XHTML valid websites and a simple blog; a lonely software developer screaming out into the abyss of the internet.
Ranting and raving about the ever increasing bloat that is the 'modern' web.
Simply put: it's a collection of XHTML valid websites. That's it.
This is just a place where valid XHTML is respected, even if the rest of the internet has long since moved on.
I fully understand how pointless this might seem.
