Foone🏳️⚧️ (foone@digipres.club)'s status on Sunday, 22-Dec-2024 11:06:22 JST Foone🏳️⚧️ @msbellows It was a proof of concept called "Rotterdam", and it was a mini-wiki that had no internal URLs. Navigation worked by forms POSTing to each other, and each link was securely encrypted (including with your IP) so you couldn't generate a URL for any subpage that you could link to anyone.
Hard mode: It used zero javascript
