Itty Bitty

#html #css #webdev

This is one of the strangest ideas I've ever seen in a while. Nicholas Jitkoff has made a tool called itty.bitty that creates websites with all of the assets being contained within their own link. You can create a website without any HTML or CSS resources at all because it’s all been encoded into the URL itself.

For example: take a look at this humongous link:

And a clickable version If you like

This link contains all of the HTML and CSS to be contained in the site. It's an awesome idea, so why don't you make your own itty bitty site?

How I fixed 20 seconds of lag for every user in just 20 minutes.

Our AI agent was running 10-20 seconds slower than it should, impacting both our own developers and our early adopters. See how I used Sentry Profiling to fix it in record time.

How is this safe from XSS attacks?

Siddharth • Jul 11 '21

Scripting is a feature of Itty Bitty, but they are loaded in a sandboxed frame and storing data is not a thing, so it's as safe as any random website on the web.
