Hey, creator of Minimal Gallery here. Thanks to everyone who's visiting. The word "minimal" doesn't have a lot to do with minimalism in this case. When starting out 10 years ago this was correct, but nowadays I'm just focussing on websites that don't do scroll-hijacking, don't involve a bunch of crazy 3d-animations or in general aren't simply usable. So the only real requirements are "functional" and "usable". Sorry for the confusion - feel free to reach out with feedback. For example I only recently added the jobs section because it was requested many times. If you have any other ideas, don't hesitate to reach out.

So if that is how you define minimal what would you call my site?: kemendo.com Austere?

  Primitive? I don't mean that in a negative way, I like it better than most websites.

  Personally I call that perfect. I found examples in the Minimal Design gallery that I would not choose to call minimal but I don't want to make an argument about form over function. Needless to say I like being able to easily navigate and locate what a website wants to communicate and having to scroll a lot I feel defeats that (I'm also cruisin' on an old Celeron at the moment). Regardless this gallery doesn't appear to be going for minimal in function but minimal in form and for that I say it is a nice collection and there is some cool art and presentations here.

So how does palette.supply qualify? It’s a hard-to-navigate scrolljacking feast. But it’s certainly visually appealing.

  Literally the first one I clicked on, it’s an utter nightmare to navigate.
