> It made me want to create a website called "lowbandwidthsites.com" or similar that is itself minimal and just lists the sites that you can load when there is low bandwidth for news etc. It wouldn't even be about "when there is low bandwidth" for me. I'd love to see a network of sites and blogs that stick to minimal/simple design. Maybe a website that consists of a Medium-clone but super lightweight (allowing users to have their own blogs without the bloat), plus a directory of external sites that stick to the same ethos. Throw in a feed showing you new blog posts and directory links (maybe also pull in posts from the external sites via RSS), and that pretty much sounds like heaven to me personally. I hate browsing the modern web. It's like wading through a sewer looking for treasure.
