Publish your website on the Static Web – also known as Web 1.1 or the Readers』 Web.
With this plugin, your visitors can download and keep pages from your site on their desktops — helping extend engagement and retention.
The Static Web is a new vision for a more interconnected web. You can learn more about it here.
How this plugin works
On each post and page, the plugin embeds a small block of JSON metadata. This data helps compatible apps and parsers generate reader-friendly, static versions of your content — versions that can visually link to any other page on the Web.
Background
This project is inspired by Ted Nelson』s Project Xanadu, re-imagining the Web as a network of visibly connected documents.
Current support
The new formats introduced by this plugin are currently supported by:
LZ Desktop
— a standalone app for reading and exploring Web 1.1 content.
LZ Desktop Helper
— a Chrome extension that integrates the Static Web with your browser.
Typically, you use the browser extension to download a web page and save it directly to the LZ Desktop app.
Looking ahead
More apps — especially reader apps, and eventually browsers — will be able to support these new data formats in the future.
