Pure Internet: no-html

no-html.club asked whether a website needed HTML, CSS, or JavaScript. The answer was a Markdown file.

I uploaded one to Bluesky's blob storage. The text/plain MIME type appeared to be blocked, while text/markdown worked. Inspecting the source shows the same text the browser renders, with no document hiding underneath it.

Non-standard hosting keeps exposing useful corners of the web. Orbiter builds on the Coinbase Base L2 and Pinata, while Cloudflare Tunnels and ngrok can turn a local device into a public origin.

The upload process is the same as hosting HTML on Bluesky's AT Protocol, with text/markdown in place of text/html.

It has no practical purpose. That is partly why I like it. One file, one MIME type, no build process, still a page.

Other Pure Internet experiments

  • Feral Pi: a solar-powered Raspberry Pi serving through a Cloudflare Tunnel.
  • NFC: base64-encoded content carried on an NFC tag and rendered in the browser.
  • Bluesky: HTML stored as an AT Protocol blob.
