About

My name is Karen Grigorian (he/him). I'm a programmer based in Armenia.

This project is about building what I believe is the missing half of the World Wide Web — something I call the Reader's Web. It is a part of the Web where the reader, rather than the publisher, decides what a web page looks like. As a bonus, this new Web enables visible connections between parts of documents — something that has not been possible until now.

The project was inspired by the ideas of hypertext visionary Ted Nelson. I've been working on it for more than two years, and as of July 2026, it's finally ready to be used.
