For visual form-factors I've described a top-bar (like elementary's Wingpanel) containing (so far) "status icons" for:
* Date (links to calendar)
* Time
* Network
* Power/accounts
* Notifications
* Contacts (somewhat questionable addition)
* GPS (plus accelerometer & magnetometer)What status icons are missing from this list?
What useful features could they expose? -
When it comes to the web:When it comes to the web:
I think there's something beautiful about HTML + CSS! Its not perfect, but given the problem statement of "inclusive richtext" you'd end up with a solution closely resembling HTML + CSS!
We maintain backwards compatibility with its imperfections, which is its own type of beauty!I'm not wedded to HTTP, I think we can do better.
I think most JS devs would be happier if that was its own thing, separate from the document web. I don't particular care for an "app web".

When I periodically post my reminder that "piracy" isn't effective *as political action*...The Magnus Archives: horror
Wolf359: space
Lackadaisy: gangster
Magus Elgar: fantastical ensamble comedy
The Red Panda Adventures: superheroes
Pepper & Carrot: witches
Hi Nay: spooky cops
Wooden Overcoats: tragic comedy
Zero Hours: end-of-the-world anthology
ars Paradoxica: time travel
Scurry: apocalypse
The Bright Sessions: more superheroes
Welcome to Night Vale: WTF!
Etc, etc!I want them to succeed not (just) because they're DRM-free, but because they're pinnacles of their genres!
2/2 Fin!

I get the impression most of the pushback I receive is from people who don't know how to do what I suggest. Or simply want an excuse to pirate.
I've been in that boat.
Tell you what, I'll get you started! If you enjoy them, share with your friends!
Hollywood, etc's power lies in their mindshare, in their stranglehold over "popculture". We can attack there!

How'd we develop software for our hardware-browser, once we've bootstrapped a self-hosted IDE for it?How'd we develop software for our hardware-browser, once we've bootstrapped a self-hosted IDE for it?
Leaving aside the question of (rich) text editing, & (optimizing) assemblers... Or the graphics card's domain-specific compiler...
We'd need disassemblers (avoid the need by shipping most updates as source code), force-directed graph viewers (requires hardware hacks), & debuggers (e.g. emulate Arithmetic Core, or show minimal input to reach a state).
Have a menu to pull up these tools!

Hey authors! Fiction or non-fiction!
Have you published a book DRM-free* you want promoted? I'll give free boosts!
I'm aware of @pluralistic & by extension Tor Publishing, @gerrymcgovern , @davidrevoy , & @baldur off the top of my head!
(* To be clear this means you offer e.g. an ePub that can be opened in any app, not just your publisher's or distributor's app; paywalls are accepted)

I recommend seeking out what else is available online, from self-published artists who feel no need to lockdown ebook/etc access! The web has been an incredible enabler here!
Honestly I've fallen out of my reading habit, so I don't have *book* recommendations.
But if The Magnus Archives could be as much of a must-hear, as say, Paranormal Activity is a must-see...
