Which I guess he didn't do yet. | | But I like the idea of some kind of alt internet where you never | need to worry about waiting for some big download or ad, and | every page is 6kb or less or something. Also it never runs any | application code in the information browser part (although you | can have a list of attached web assembly files or something). | | But if you're really efficient with something like IconVG you can | have small file sizes and also fast load times. You could limit | the features or put a drawing time limit on it to ensure pages | load within 60ms or something. | natly wrote: | I'm a supporter of this guys patreon[1] because I love the idea | that someone with this much experience and talent is using his | effort to make tutorials etc that help everyone (rather than some | closed codebase only enriching a small set of stakeholders), and | I'd love to be part of being able to give him enough fuck you | money to not have to worry about anything else. | | [1] https://www.patreon.com/inigoquilez | meta1299 wrote: | View the PDF in browser: https://docmadeeasy.com/v/607973065 | _Microft wrote: | The link submitted by OP loads perfectly fine in Firefox | (current version).
