> they would likely obey robots.txt

If only... Despite providing a useful service, they are not as nice towards site owners as one would hope.

Internet Archive says:

> We see the future of web archiving relying less on robots.txt file declarations geared toward search engines

https://blog.archive.org/2017/04/17/robots-txt-meant-for-sea...

They are not alone in that. The "Archiveteam", a different organization, not to be confused with archive.org, also doesn't respect robots.txt according to their wiki: https://wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Robots.txt

I think it is safe to say that there is little consideration for site owners from the largest archiving organizations today. Whether there should be is a different debate.

I really tried to be open minded and clicked your link. You lost me at:

> By combining Web2 (community interfaces) and Web3 (smart economies), we can launch the next generation of applications — which we refer to as Web5.

This is not how versioning works. It looks more like marketing coming up with the highest number possible without a meaningful increase in value delivered. (Remember the old PC magazines with 999+ games on a CD Rom?)

Have driven in Waymo and Cruise quite a hit. Don’t wanna beat a dead horse, so let’s talk about Waymo only: It improved every time from when I first got access to today, where a lot of people can use it now. I even had my visiting parents riding in Waymo cars a couple of times and they felt saved and loved it, and they are not really early adopters of anything :) When in SF I always prefer Waymo over any other form of ride service or ride share.

Disclaimer: Google LLC employee. No relations to Waymo, just a fan of self driving in general.

I genuinely thought this link was about escaping a standardized steel shipping container, something I recently had to seriously consider. In that regard a disappointing click.

I also wrote my own docker-like containerization code for educational purposes a while ago, so container has both these meanings for me. Yet, me brain was expecting a physical escape story. Brains are funny!

Here in the U.S. west coast mountains some land owners started controlled fires on their property to get rid of the stacking fuel naturally while preserving the bound minerals and helping the large redwoods and sequoias to fend of contenders. I have no idea how they managed to get a permit in this area where officials and population ate crazily scared of these natural processes given that uncontrolled fires make the news every year.

Also, a second generation redwood forest looks very different from an undisturbed one I recently learned from a forest guy who walked with me. He was reading the forest like a book. Very impressive. Turns out, my forest is a second generation and I should maybe take down a few redwoods, something I considered morally wrong before the walkthrough.

Great project!

Nit: Personally would prefer rounded corners.

Agree on the lack of style. I think it would be nice to give the user agent at least a hint in the form of a color map.

Images can be inlined by the user agent.
