@ifixcoinops@retro.social this reminds me of how EPUB3 is basically "what if we made an e-book format known for reflowable text, except we added fixed layout text, the entirety of HTML5, JavaScript and some other bullshit that requires you to run an extended version of chromium to implement?" Which is like, how the fuck did they lose the plot so bad, no EPUB reader that isn't a web browser supports this shit spec as a result so it's kinda dead. Entirely because instead of focusing on being a reasonably sized, possible to understand, possible to implement specification with the narrow goal of being very good at reflowable text ebooks (in direct opposition to PDF), they decided it must do everything. Why in the fuck?
