Back to the basics - I like it! Kind of ironic (?) that this feels so fresh and different from most of the web these days. It does inspire me to offer content in raw form like plain text, or at least bare HTML.

I wonder, it's probably not realistic to expect non-technical people to install browser extensions that render Markdown automatically. Without it, there are no links possible though..

The emojis didn't display for me, on iOS. Content-encoding issue?

I'm all against useless styling, but a web without clickable hyperlinks is not a web at all.

To be fair, it's the "Internet of Text", not the "Web of Text".

But I agree, it's kind of dumb. They could meet all of their 'why's with plain unstyled HTML.
