    I always enjoy looking into what other people are doing with their smaller (but 100+ views) websites, thanks for posting.

    Usually “this is a good website” websites are pretty text-heavy with the occasional picture. These sites only need HTML anyway and frequently say “you only need HTML anyway”.
    Although the linked webpage – a debatable list of opinions (e.g. Cloudflare privacy is hotly contested by people with at least as much credibility as the author) – is an example of this, I was pleasantly surprised by the national grid map under /data and the use of math rendering, which at least surpass the complexity of writing a HTML 1.1 compliant site.

    The use of CC0 is a variable choice – some want their work to be more forcibly public, but I guess I see her viewpoint.

    As for her gripe on the opacity of code minification, I can’t say I understand that. Just make your site source code open and obvious to remake, as she did with grid. It’s the same result, but with the added benefit of less JS bytes for when you do do something more complex.

    Cool I guess. Dark mode is broken on darkreader on this site tho.
