Unless network speeds are reversing to the modem age, browsers switching to Trident/Gecko and PCs to single core CPUs exclusively, this is 100% hipsterism. As if using scripts or CSS is solely a choice of the CMS... Get real.
Since HN seems to be on a blog-kick lately, I'll repost the idea that I'm still waiting for someone to build: A blogverse of some kind that allows for algorithmic discoverability & aggregation (ala Medium) without the bullshit/terrible UX. The real value proposition of Medium is that a well-made aggregator benefits readers and writers alike. Readers find more authors they like, writers find more audience. There are a…
I'm interested in this problem space, because current social media tools leave me somewhat dissatisfied. But I'm also skeptical about how you'd build it successfully.

You probably don't know how many people still use slow, expensive and limited (often every part extreme) connections and old CPUs. And even on a Core i7 with a 100 Mbit/s channel many websites still feel slow.

I can't recommend Bear enough if you're using all Apple devices. I've used many note taking app but Bear is the only thing that gives me Markdown note taking + not getting in my way of writing. I especially like the infintely nested tag of Bear, such a time saver when you can drop a #hastag/anywhere/with/inifitely/nested/hierachy . Disclamer: I'm not affliated with Bear in anyway, just a happy customer.
Is it open source? Could I self hosted it?
You can't self host it, otherwise you'd be better off writing your own basic HTML pages or using a static site generator. You can check out the source code on github though https://github.com/HermanMartinus/bearblog

It was during an iOS beta on one of the devices, so perhaps not their fault—but I’ve been unwilling to pay since.

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…
