It really annoys me when a site that just needs to display some text loads a whole react-redux framework.
When it comes to reading text I honestly prefer the old school academic websites (albeit with a max-width set).
Keeping stuff simple even makes maintaining the site simple, I personally run https://www.discoverdev.io https://www.discoverdev.io and have used zero JavaScript. Inspired by brutalist design principles :)
- rileyteige 8y agoHey nice site. With cache cleared: 79.2KB to load home page sub-second load 7 total requests In contrast... where I work, to load our enterprise webapp's home page (running on Angular, WebAPI, many external CSS/JS "plugins"): 5.7MB to load home page 28.95s to load everything 173 total requests Granted we're serving a way different goal, but still... i admire how lightweight your site is.
