Google owns the HTML5 model. Anyone who says otherwise is just kidding themselves. The standard and specs are too broad for anyone without a boatload of cash to keep up with.

So I decided to go with a standard that wasn't as convoluted. . . Markdown.

Not going to lie, I vibe-coded the entire thing. And baked in a couple modifications to the standard as well:

:Aligns text right and :centers text:

It also auto-numbers lines starting with . .

I'm just curious if this community is AI-friendly, or if I need to post elsewhere.

It browses markdown and politely declines all HTML content. Written in Python and uses Pyglet as its rendering engine.

I hate HTML5, and absolutely think markdown or plain HTML or RSS or Gemini or some other standard would be a massive improvement. The problem isn't picking the standard or creating the browser, it's having content available.

Maybe you can campaign for a law that says if a data centre servers js, it legally has to be bombed. If a website doesn't work without js they have to pay for a person to come to your door and operate it for you.
