Tbh, I love minimal websites. This could be my nostalgia speaking, though. Nevertheless, small websites means less bandwidth requirements for our comrades with slow internet.
Plus, text-focused websites tend to be higher quality and actually have meaningful content.
I’m all for minimalism, but I don’t think that has to be at odds with the site looking nice and clean. Lemmy is a good example of a site that looks pretty minimal, but also looks nice visually.
Maybe something like this? https://github.com/muxelplexer/marxists-org-dark-stylized
Better and consistent styling would definitely help, but it would be nice to have good search, better navigation, etc. It’d be great to take all the content from marxists.org and shove it into a modern content management system.
I know this has been posted on jest, but this is slander.
marxists.org is not only perfectly fine, it’s a sight to behold and replicate.
Hell actually, if anything I still believe it can be improved because https://motherfuckingwebsite.com/ is peak web design and if you think otherwise you’re simply wrong.
CSS is bourgeois decadence and JavaScript is fascistic techbro overreach into my computer.
The second I’ve seen that meme I was 100% sure I would find you in the comments protesting.
It’s just what I do 🫶
All of them are revisionism because I said so
No they fucking aren’t. Accessibility is important. Security is important. I want to be able to read this in bed, without the lightmode bullshit. I want my websites to be FOSS. The only revisionism is thebestmotherfuckingwebsite.co, fuck JS.
Is this some coding meme that I’m too much of a layman to understand?
I think it’s basically making fun of marxists.org having garish UX
By “garish” presumably you mean “awesome”
It does have a certain charm to it I will admit, but it is an inconsistent mess and could be a lot cleaner in my opinion.
“inconvenient” is my biggest problem with it. Just use a single format for every work and add some html classes so I can scrape it easier.
HTML is like the AK47 of web design. It does the job and respects the user.
Marxists can stop enshittification. Simple HTML websites embody the proletarian spirit.
Letting websites run arbitrary code on your device was a grave mistake
it wasn’t a mistake, it was very well planned and executed without most people having a clue
Anything more than a plain html website is bourgeois decadence.
