For other similar-ish related tools/writing platforms: * https://write.as/ * http://txti.es/ * http://telegra.ph/ * https://txt.fyi/ * https://verbatim.link/ * https://www.pastery.net/ * http://ix.io/ * https://commentpara.de/ * https://rwtxt.com/ * https://distbin.com/

I'm slightly amused by the domain hacks, but also concerned about a few of the ccTLDs, especially when it comes to user generated content and blogging/opinions. For example, the leader of .ph routinely calls opponents gay, is not known for human rights or free speech, and I am curious how this might reflect on it.

I have the same concerns with user generated content in/on .de and their Netzwerkdurchsetzungsgesetz law, the mandatory Posting an Impressum on your sites, etc.

I have seen bitly suspended before by Libya for merely providing redirects to content they don't like.

Small suggestion -- it seems like you're using the wrong units (or maybe abbreviations) for your displayed average page sizes. You're using lower-case b to indicate bits, but I suspect you mean upper-case B to indicate bytes? Also, the lower-case k is the correct prefix for 1,000, but lower case m is milli, or 1/000. You want M for mega, which is 1,000,000. Also if you really want to be precise you should consider wh…

"mb" is not millibar; "mbar" is.

Wouldn't twtxt be a better candidate as the most minimal blogging platform? https://twtxt.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

This is pretty rad

Used this years ago for twitter https://www.floodgap.com/software/ttytter/ It was amazing... everyone thinks you're working with the terminal open ;)

Maybe not officially, but in practice that's how it's used:

The unit's official symbol is bar; the earlier symbol b is now deprecated and conflicts with the use of b denoting the unit barn, but it is still encountered, especially as mb (rather than the proper mbar) to denote the millibar.

Nice to see these minimal sites. I also tried to make my own blog as minimal in used bandwidth as possible without sacrificing my features. A full page load with all resources is around 22 kB.

Just a note, there seems to be an errant at the end of the generated HTML.
