Web revival

"Web revival" is a term generally used to describe a movement towards harnessing, using, and learning basic web technologies (specifially html, css, and javascript). You could easily see it as a reaction to the rise and proliferation of commercial web-based services and platforms that effectively insulate the user from the "bare metal" of the web.

Why "web revival"?

The name itself is derived from the Folk Revival of the mid-20th century. The Folk Revival promoted a feeling of humanity, creativity and equality at a time of rapid mechanisation; whereas the Web Revival promotes these values in the face of the rapid digitisation that surrounds us today.
