Google owns the HTML5 model. Anyone who says otherwise is just kidding themselves. The standard and specs are too broad for anyone without a boatload of cash to keep up with.

So I decided to go with a standard that wasn’t as convoluted. . . Markdown.

Not going to lie, I vibe-coded the entire thing. And baked in a couple modifications to the standard as well:

:Aligns text right and :centers text:

It also auto-numbers lines starting with . .

I’m just curious if this community is AI-friendly, or if I need to post elsewhere.

It browses markdown and politely declines all HTML content. Written in Python and uses Pyglet as its rendering engine.

      It’s a markdown browser. Instead of HTML documents, it browses .md. I’ve added bookmarks, a system icon, and a header explorer.

      Basically, you can browse and bookmark help docs now in a standard format, without having to worry about HTML tracking, cookies, or any of the other BS.

    Markdown is not a standard.

    And if you think html is a mess, wait to see css.

    Sorry but complexity is part of evoluted and complex systems. There is always room for a more simple solution as well, but as far as the problem is complex, the solution can hardly be simpler that the problem itself

    Maybe the problem is not formulated correctly, of course.

    Sorry would you mind explaining what this means? Genuine question, I really do not understand.

      There are only 2 rendering engines that can keep up with HTML5 at the moment: Gecko and Blink. Google owns Blink. And it funds Gecko almost entirely.
