Dave Winer recently wrote The web of Markdown proposing a new simpler web. I quickly realized that much of this was already present with sites like mine that serve markdown for LLMs.

Dave Winer,

Thanks for picking up the ball here Andrew. I love the look, but I want it to run without Chrome. And I want all the affordances -- Bookmarks, History, connection to a search engine (but only if they can produce Markdown pages). I want to start the migration away from Chrome. A lot of people love this idea, I've been hearing from them. And then we're going to need Markdown-only blogging software, and there's already a good start there with all the Tools for Thought products that work in Markdown.

Thanks Dave! Right now this is just a web app so you can eliminate Chrome by using Firefox or Safari. :-)

This bootstrap can be used on any desktop or a phone right now. Creating a native app next would be a fun project but this gives people a way to browse the web of markdown and it's already shown me a bunch of places where my markdown wasn't up to par.
