i just remembered html imagemaps from the 90s. did someone make a retro proxy browser yet that makes use of this? i.e. render modern website on server as GIF, with dithering or monochrome modes, serve as imagemap with clickable links to old wowser

@mntmn The menu for my old website was an image map and at least as viewed through the Internet Archive, it's still working.

I did get lazy about updates and provided a regular link menu as an alternative, but points on the image still go to where they were mapped to go.

@activeweekly @mntmn that's a scam!

@fun @mntmn ok but the usage of user:pass format is kinda smart

@pj @mntmn Yeah I've seen it before, pretty clever tbh (until it isn't)

@mntmn
They certainly should do!
