 I was curious as to whether anyone had tested simple vs complex sites and found LOTS of examples in your favor. Here is a good example. "After just two-and-a-half weeks, these were their staggering results:" https://cxl.com/blog/why-simple-websites-are-scientifically-better/ 6 comments
 @Ralph From reading through the Wikipedia page, Nvu was an active project from 2004 to 2005, then shelved in favor of KompoZer, which was an active project until 2010. SeaMonkey is still an active project and includes Seamonkey Composer, a descendant of Mozilla Composer. Cool, I was actually using IceApe, which was the Debian (copyright free) version of Seamonkey. I didn't want to go down that rabbit hole unless you were already versed in Linux branching. Good luck with your quest for HTML simplicity!  @Ralph "“Visually complex” websites are consistently rated as less beautiful than their simpler counterparts." this sounds like study done in US-only audience group. I recall an article that describes how different "beautiful website" looks for the Japan audience, and author described the possible reasons, partly coming from local typographic and culture traditions. |

@Ralph That's interesting.
I'm thinking in terms of how to make it really easy to publish on the Internet; I'm impressed by the possibilities of static site generators and markdown. My point about text is that people shouldn't have to be worried about web design if they want to do something as simple as publishing essays.
