Welp, there we go.

I'm working on the contrary, some sort of gemini web plus with modules, to keep the engine as small as possible to make porting/reinventions easier. The engine only provides basics like displaying text. Modules provide functionality like 'video player', gallery', 'search bar with filters', 'login', keeping webshops, company pages, etc. in mind. There's no JS or CSS, the styling is entirely in the hand of the browser/user (including dark mode, mobile view), the servers push only content. Likewise, active logins and payments will be handled by the browser, not the webpage. Though it will not be compatible with HTTPS/the current web. The protocol and the browser will be licensed open source.

I'm still planning, it's not even in the prototype phase yet. Should i push this further? If so, how would i get financial support? opentech.fund, ngi.edu, nlnet?

I don’t think it’s an engineer problem as much as a management problem. The implementation is done by the engineers, sure, but it’s the product managers who decide the direction and it’s them who are at fault here

This guy is amazing. He is asking for patience to move this to a proper place to discuss this website drm and then commits it to chrome lol.
