It's always a lot of fun to see stuff like this on HN. It's a reminder that there are still a lot of fun and amusing things on the internet.

I also love seeing stupid simple HTML sites like this. It's hideous to look at but it serves exactly the purpose it's there to do. It's also really fast.



It’s also easy to make stupid simple HTML sites that aren’t hideous to look at (CSS doesn’t make it slow) that are fit for purpose and are really, really fast. My website is one such example.

Putting JS in the render path is a mistake.


I make a little framework for “stupid simple HTML sites” and use it as a “starter” for most of my own work.
