As a comment on the unchanging, pared-down UI of the Halfbakery, this is a reimagining of the Halfbakery showing how it
would look at different points in the internet’s
history if it had adopted the currently fashionable
web fad. E.g., not necessarily in this order: 1.
everything in a FRAME,
2. accessible only via
clicking on a splash screen, 3. accessible only via
an OS-specific app which has slightly less
functionality than the HTML site, 4. with pop-up
ads, 5. with rampant collection of user data for
onward sale to the highest bidder, 6. everything
rendered with Flash, 7. built in Wordpress, etc.

Need a Web 2.0 croissant logo, with a nice gradient |
|
| |
tsk, don't forget nntp. (could actually be done, but would get zero traffic). |
|
| |
Baudot punched paper tape ? |

Actually, given its text format, halfbakery-on- ASR33-Teletype would be entirely practical ... very Steampunk. |
|
| |
We could also have a version designed to be accessed from
retrocomputers, like (IIRC) retro.hackaday.com (which, IIRC,
just displays a static set of blog posts now, not the most
recent ones from the actual blog?). It wouldn't even be
difficult—last time I checked, the halfbakery was already
using '90s-style HTML for everything. |
|
| |
Though I guess it's not really necessary, with the /lr/ version
already available. |
|

I'm quite interested in the weekly periodical
magazine format |
|
| |
We're quite interested in the 70-round drum magazine format, as used by the PPSh-41. |
|
| |
71-round (Russian savant Dirty Harry). |
|
| |
update: the Halfbakery should be an app, slower, with slightly less functionality, less privacy, and more use of processing power and memory than the browser version |
|

^^ Would our information be sold, specifically to match against similar ideas currently in the patent process, to summarily be deleted such that "prior art" can be legally denied? |
|
| |
If hb "user data" (not that there really is any) is to be sold, it will be deliberately "wrong", & designed specifically to mess up the databases of the advertisers it goes to (but without them realising). |
