WorldWideWeb

Celý článek

For the 30th anniversary of the web, CERN brought nine web nerds together to recreate the very first web browser — Or a working replication of it anyway, as you use it from your web browser, inception style.

Well done, Mark Boulton, John Allsopp, Kimberly Blessing, Jeremy Keith, Remy Sharp, Craig Mod, Martin Akolo Chiteri, Angela Ricci, and Brian Suda! I love that it was written in React and the font is an actual replication of what was used back then. What a cool project.

They even opened-sourced the code.

CSS-Tricks ain't too awful terrible, considering the strictness:

When this source code was written, there was no version number associated with HTML. Based on the source code, the following tags—the term 'element' was not yet used—were recognized:

• ADDRESS
• A
• DL, DT, DD
• H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, H6
• HP1, HP2, HP3
• ISINDEX
• LI
• LISTING
• NEXTID
• NODE
• OL
• PLAINTEXT
• PRE
• RESTOFFILE
• TITLE
• UL
• XMP

Unrecognized tags were considered junk and ignored.
