Please let this not be the future of reading on the web
november 2011 by boywhoroared
Most of all, I worry about web users. Because, after ten-plus years of commercial web development, they still have a tough time finding what they’re looking for, and they still wonder why it’s so damned unpleasant to read text on the web — which is what most of them do when they’re online.

Raphters: A web framework for C
april 2011 by boywhoroared
> Raphters is a web framework written in C. Yes you heard that right, a shiny new framework for the web written in everybody’s favorite close-to-the-metal programming language. The project gets its name from RAPHT, a pattern that extends MVC that aims for greater security and flexibility:
Resources include things served up to clients like a database or API.
Actions provide ways to interact with a Resource.
Processors transform data.
Handlers provide the entry point for a request.
