It was fun reading https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30929345 to see people linking, debating, and critiquing/admiring each other's sites. So what's yours?

#2I'm at https://maxleiter.com, built with next.js for server-side generation but with javascript removed in the final bundle so it comes in at ~13KB cold cache. At risk of being mocked for my definition of minimalism, I tried to keep it fairly minimalist and simple while having a modern web aesthetic.

#3Not mine, but a project of a friend's that makes experimental music to raise money for charity: https://moonmusiq.com/
It's supposed to be simple so everything about it is on a single page without Javascript or any third party dependencies

#4Interesting. I always thought my website was just ugly, but now I am calling it minimalist.

#5My project website: https://www.checkbot.io/
I was aiming for a simple and clean design, with fast loading. The whole homepage is 200KB transferred. Renders in about 0.7s on my desktop.
Main tricks: use SVG everywhere you can (the big screenshot is SVG) and consider inlining it, use minimal CSS and inline it, host fonts yourself, use CSS font swap, don't use JavaScript for content or at all if you can help it, minimise CSS/JS/HTML and use HTTP2.

#6If we're talking personal:
- I had https://shahinrostami.com which grew into a collection of notebooks, now it's not so personal...
- Recently booted up https://polyra.com, which I'm keeping a little more personal
For my projects, I have https://plotapi.com and https://plotpanel.com

Not really much there, but I host personal projects on sub-domains like:
- https://hw.leftium.com/ Readable HN in chronological order
- https://uw.leftium.com/ UltraWeather forecast
- https://ph.leftium.com/ Password generator
- https://blog.leftium.com/ Blog
- https://ff.leftium.com/ Utility for FEH (game)

Named after our cats. We're using Gatsby and it uses JavaScript for displaying a static website; both of those things I dislike. Nothing is special about it, except...
It's running on a laptop in my living room. There's a little Wireguard tunnel connecting it to a Hetzner server nearby. The packet routing should all be done in the kernel of both machines so it ought to be snappy.
I like the fact that that I'm sorta the one shaking hands with your HTTPS client when you connect. I like that the website goes down with a power outage. Maybe I'll get a Honda generator. I plan on getting redundancy once Google Fiber is done installing in our neighborhood.
