You can read the previous article here.

This is the final article of the series. This series was not supposed to exist. It should be a simple article only. But that simple article generated so much skepticism and even sarcasm that I felt challenged to prove that I knew what I was talking about. I had to write more articles, and even create the GoodbyeHtml library, not only to prove that I should be believed, but also to help anyone that wanted to use the canvas element for constructing a web page or parts of it.

I also had an educational purpose with this series, which is to show how the browser works: we were doing in the canvas the same thing that the browser does in the window of the device where it is running. I think that’s really cool.

I know I had promised to cover more details, but

1. I am short of time,
2. going too much in details may be tiresome (maybe that happened) ,
3. the best resource for details is the GoodbyeHtml library itself (Github),
4. I am available for replying any doubts (please select a page with few replies) and
5. probably you will prefer to approach my new project about websites.

Web As You Wish — the new project

I started the new project based on all feedback that I received along the current series.

WAYW (Web As You Wish) is an extremely friendly website builder. For the starters, you don’t need to install anything: you run it in the browser.

WAYW produces a very lightweight webpage in pure, readable and maintainable HTML/CSS code. No JavaScript inside; no library dependencies. WAYW goes beyond the concept of Single Page Application, it makes (excepting the images) a Single File Application.

Although WAYS internally works very fine, the interface of the first version does not help your productivity. That’s why it is being completed revamped now (beginning of 2023). The new interface will be fully point and click directly on the webpage being produced.

I believe you will enjoy very much the second version (when released)!

Thanks for walking this track with me!
