So with the new relaxed permissions for Neocities...what is possible now?

[ZinesByLennon]

I saw Neocities made a bluesky post announcing relaxed permissions to do things like use widgets and third party analytics? What can that be used for in terms of webmaking? I'm mostly familiar with the type of things we can already do with HTML/CSS/JavaScript on here already.

For the benefit of anybody who, like me, had to go looking for it: here's the Bluesky post.

The big difference here is that

(a) a <script> loaded from another website can make 'fetch' requests, which is useful for some analytics tools; it probably also means that tools like <embed-html> can work without you selfhosting them, and means that other "embedded" widgets that load data remotely will behave better,

(b) a <form> can have an action="..." that points to another website, which can be useful for some kinds of guestbook/comments forms etc.; previously these would have required an <iframe>.

It's probably not the biggest deal for most folks, but it pleases me that they're changing it.
