So for the Protocol hander discussion, I was particularly influenced by @timbray in articles such as this one: tbray.org/ongoing/When/202x/20

Curious both if TIm thinks I took the right lessons from his writing....

And very much interested in @evanEvan Prodromou and his thoughts on the idea as describe in the post. And @jenniferplusplus

As well as what browser tech folks like @jonJon S. von Tetzchner and @jensimmons would think of my rendition of the state of play and how to move forward on web protocol handler support.

i'm starting to get a little incredulous at the sheer number of times people suggest new protocol schemes and handlers for what is still fundamentally an HTTP resource

if we switched to serving web+activity: or fedi: or whatever, that'd be a horrific regression in UX because clicking/copying links would *break* for most people

the problem is most "fedi" apps are building a web browser inside a web browser. that's the fundamental ux sin. all else stems from that.
