@danluu People have no idea how much I appreciate a bare page like this, even on a fast machine and connection. I open something and it’s just there. I can adjust the window width if I want. No distractions. Full focus on the actual content on both ends. I don’t care that it doesn’t follow the latest fashion.

@jonathanavt @danluu I totally agree that page bloat is a problem. However, publishing things as a brutalist mess does not help communicating it.

A few KB of CSS can improve that dramatically: Using the system font stack, limiting the content size to a comfortable width would already be enough.

@fleg @danluu I don’t have a problem with a bit of CSS. The overall balance is just ridiculously out of whack.

@jonathanavt @danluu 💯!
I would happily trade the current CSS- and (especially) JavaScript-bloaty internet for brutalist Times New Roman.

@fleg @jonathanavt @danluu looks ququite decent in "reader view" on firefox too. and that takes care of the whole wall of text with 50 word width problem.
