In case you feel like visiting usenet as it looked 40+ years ago, I run https://olduse.net/ - which Joey Hess originally did as an art project - where you can connect a news reader (Thunderbird, Gnus, slrn, nn, tin, Pan, or even Lynx or ELinks, for instance) and read usenet delayed 40-46 years.
I'd say DHTML was more of a thing in the early 2000s when we were still using tables for layout. The divs came later, when the abbreviation had fallen out of fashion because all HTML kinda was dynamic by default.
I wanted to create a catchy, attention-grabbing phrase:)
This app is meant to feel like a single sheet of paper on our desk where we can write in Markdown.
A lot of readers (intentionally?) get this wrong though and show entries as new/unread if there are changes to the content.
Of course a lot of feeds also get this wrong and change the GUIDs for existing entries once in a while which results in strictly compliant readers showing you the entire feed history as new. Really annoying.
My system updates¹ the entry and marks the changes in the first case. What is right and what is wrong depends on what you want, I think.
The latter is annoying, I agree.
¹ It is an NNTP interface so the article is superseded; https://feedbase.org/about/ - if you don't want to see updates, you can configure your newsreader to skip supersedes.
