So I built this little web site based on pure HTML; no Javascript in there, just some CSS. Thinking nothing of it, really.
And then, shortly after, got into a situation where I was in an ssh session and needed to use the web interface to do configuration work. I could just grab the "w3m" terminal-based browser and go ahead with that. No SSH tunnel and full-fledged web browser needed. Nice!
PS: Is there a hashtag for this "dumb web" approach?
