Show HN: An Absurdly Compatible Website Hey all, I was inspired by the other thread to make a quick video demo of what an Absurdly Compatible Website may look like when implemented. This one does have some JavaScript, but degrades gracefully and supports text-mode browsers, no-JS browsing, and all the classics like IE3 and NN3 and Lynx. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-_yr31biGM Kudos to anyone who can name all the browsers used in the demo, I think it's more than 20 different ones :) You can also check out the site live at https://ift.tt/Yn26spF or https://ift.tt/DNeS9co, at least until it's hugged.

Code is on GitHub: https://ift.tt/SeL9WlT May 7, 2022 at 12:07AM
