Free The Web

http://www.free-the-web.com is now more or less completely liveish, and looking as it should in all browsers, with the possible exception of (wait for it) IE6.

looks ok I think - it's hard to tell when you've seen nothing else for the last week.

I tested it with the mult-browser tester here : http://browsershots.org - pretty cool - shows you 62 different browser combos.

This allows you to thin them down to the ones that you're going to support, and which don't work. ie: varieties of Internet Explorer...

eg: IE8...

Features you never knew you needed eh?

I feel a bit guilty about not including IE7 or IE8 in the recommended browser list - theoretically, these should work etc - but I'm running a personal vendetta of my own. Microsoft fund legal attacks against open-source - and my livelihood depends on open-source, so as far as I am concerned, Microsoft are off the radar.

Still, never mind. www.free-the-web.com includes a several bits of eye-candy on the mashup front, eg: a twitter feed of what people are twittering about IE6 right now and several graphs generated using Google's graph-drawing API and the stats feed from marketshare.hitslink.com.

todo :

• cache both of the above
• make a thing which sends a tweet to everyone (once) when they mention IE6
• start telling people that the site exists (oooh, scary)
