On my large screen, the lines are so long that it's difficult to read. But other than that, it's a nice inspiration for how minimal a website can be.

- taftster 7y agoFYI. The content looks real nice in "reader" mode (at least in Firefox). I kind of think this is the best approach. Write your content with as minimal markup as possible. Let the user-agent render the page in my own styling. I wish the web was a bit more like the gopher protocol, where the page markup was very minimal. Just give me the plain text (or close to it) and let my client render it the way I want to read it. Markdown (or similar) would be an ideal representational format. This would push all the rendering decisions to the client.
- saagarjha 7y agoEven better (IMO, because that’s what I do) is to provide your own markup that is reasonable, but let the underlying semantic HTML be there too so people can discard it and use their browser’s reader mode to view it too.
- pwg 7y ago> On my large screen, the lines are so long that it's difficult to read. The text on the page adapts to the width of the browser window in which it is viewed. The result is that everyone can obtain the line width they prefer by adjusting the width of their local browser that is rendering the page. If the lines are too long, just pop the page out into its own window, narrow the width of just that window until the lines are at a comfortable length for you, and you'll have lines that are just right for you. This page is an example of where you are in control of how the site renders and can easily adjust it to your own tastes.
