The small web and minimalist websites - what are your thoughts and experiences?
I'm a supporter and believer in the small web and minimalist websites (i.e. NOT "minimal design" websites, which are not minimalist more often than not). Some examples: Tildes. Sourcehut....
I'm a supporter and believer in the small web and minimalist websites (i.e. NOT "minimal design" websites, which are not minimalist more often than not).
Some examples:
- Tildes.
- Sourcehut.
- HackerNews.
- To a limited degree, the different motherfucking websites (as they are, in essence, websites with no purpose).
- Members of the 512kb club (also see https://10kbclub.com/).
- Tools like Miniflux and Kanboard.
- Pinboard.in.
- And many others.
What is your experience, if any, with the small web?
Which steps have you taken (if at all) to ensure your website is not bloated?
What do you think can be done better both individually as well as globally to make the web a nicer, faster place?
Edit: So I don’t look like I don’t practice what I preach, this is my blog. I try and follow the minimalist principles.
