Until recently I have found no need to dabble with dynamic web pages. Javascript as a language turns out to be fun and easy. The intricate part is how to connect it to the html or css part. On the smolweb it is customary to point out the mess we're seing on the big web, all the distracting elements, all the fluff around very little actual content. Apart from the bloat as such, scripts are often pointed to as the culprit. Is this bloat and scripting proliferation partly a result of how fun it is to build such sites, or the amount of work a web programmer can charge for?

Dynamic web pages showing each visitor something unique and taylored to their profile is a recipe for removing a sense of common (online) reality. As an internet art project dynamic and unique web pages might be interesting to experiment with, leaving aside the way the internet almost always reduces art to "art", the medium erects quotation marks around the work, as it were.

This is another idea:
A single web page that presents documents once, and only once, from a large pool. When a document has been displayed it is disappeared and never shewn again. Withering away instead of accumulation; when resources are emptied they project ends.
