Frog Find

Imagesource: http://frogfind.com/

Frog Find is a really cool idea from Sean aka Action Retro

The problem: You have a machine that has slightly gray and thin hair, but is far from being old-fashioned. The box even connects to the Interwebs, and has a browser. But it's so old that you can hardly open any modern website in a meaningful way?

This is exactly where Frog Find kicks in. The search engine is a wrapper for DuckDuckGo, acts as a proxy and translates modern Markup and CSS into very simple HTML, with which even browsers from the stone age should be able to cope. Websites that are otherwise not displayable on aging devices get a second chance this way.

Best of all: Thanks to modern technologies from the future, 8bitnews also renders server-side, and can thus be read on vintage machines thanks to Frog Find.

A dream! Thanks Sean.
