Hey ya'll!
I'm currently working on a small archive on Dreamcast website development. As such, if anyone has any useful links, I'd appreciate it. Another part of this, is resources thread for hosting and general development. A lot of modern hosting sites use TLS 1.3, which is incompatible with the Dreamcast Browsers. As such, I need to crowd source hosting options for people who don't want to web-host themselves. I'll keep updating this thread with new stuff as we find it. I'm also searching for one particular website that has the entire list of Planetweb specific HTML tags. I lost it quite awhile ago.
WIP is being made on the dreamcast wiki in order to consoldate this info

Re: Dreamcast Website Development Research
I think this is a FANTASTIC idea. I've seen a lot of gems on the wayback machine (archiving VMU resources) going into explicit details on some of the web browsers' really deep features like invoking a custom Javascript script from the VMU, but I was too dumb to save it.
This is a really good cause, and if anyone else has any information, please share. Notice that the BlueSwirl site that has been around this scene for a VERY LONG TIME is now gone. Somebody is going to need the references and resources to hopefully build a new one some day... and we are actually working on WebAssembly support for the next EVMU release, so you can embed that and play minigames in the browser directly...
