I think a lot of people are afraid to admit that the web is doomed.

@sir out of interest, what do you think would be the alternatives for things like sourcehut?
imho most problems can be solved with plain html forms and just requesting the next document. it's not the most elegant solution, but it does the job for 30 years now.
advanced things should be native clients. it's a bit funny that browsers now deliver the promise of java (run everywhere), using a technological jenga tower.
so maybe i'd say "the modern web is doomed".
@sir while many things can be done via mail, maybe even better with sane mail clients, HTTP and HTML still seem useful for it as presentation layer and the API. i was just wondering what you'd consider as alternatives to this in a product like sourcehut.
@bonifartius almost all sourcehut features work without a web browser, and the ratio is approaching 1
