Love the "early internet" feel of it, and of course the speed.
The domain name could be improved, considering that it will be part of every hosted blog. Something more concise, or rolls off the tongue easier.

I tried to get a better domain. I tried so hard. tiny.blog, bare.blog, bear.blog, petite.blog, smol.site, etc, etc.... Small domains are competitive if you're on a shoestring budget :P

#14I appreciate the no-bs lightweight website sentiment as much as anyone, but I think there's also something to be said about drastically improving readability with some line-height and font styling.
I think I'd second this, adding some basic improvements to the typesetting would help a lot and wouldn't cost anything WRT performance.

#15“Bear” is a well-known note-taking and writing app https://bear.app/
I was trying to play on the word "bare". Yeah, I realised this a bit too late

I'm thinking of adding a few small ways the user can adjust it. Maybe a dropdown of classless css frameworks to choose from would be good

#18Cool project! I think you'd do well to expand the example blog with more entries and content.
Thanks. Will do

#20Is this different from the note taking app "Bear"
Yes. The only similarity is their names.
