Itty Bitty Sites

I've been a fan of maximizing what one can do with a URL for a long time.

• Sometimes one can get more out of another site than its original developers thought possible or fully used. 
• On a simpler level and more common basis, I rarely visit a site so that I can do a search; instead I just use a search shortcut and do my search right from the address bar.

Well this week, Nicholas Jitkoff has taken Web development to another level. He's made a way to build an entire Web page out of nothing more than a URL!

I’ve made you an itty bitty experiment just in time for independence day–
a tool to create websites contained within their own link.

Reminds me of when people used to cram amazing things (chess!) into 1K of RAM on the ZX81 https://t.co/fjUOtwiVZb
