For my textsites, I use the whole address, e.g., http://ynac.freeshell.org/Yuengling.txt and will often repeat the instruction to right-click on any link to follow. That way, navigation is strong and layout just that much more challenging.
A small collection of text-only websites

Re: A small collection of text-only websites
#52I think this site/list is more fitting: https://textonly.website/
Almost none of the sites in that list are actually text. They’re just minimally styled html/css.

Also: https://lite.cnn.com/
I read these two all the time. I wish nytimes.com came in a text version, I hate the move to video. I was raised on newspapers not mtv...

Have you tried a different theme? Perhaps you're accidentally on "nude" when you would be happier with "drunk". Or vice versa, no accounting for taste.
Oh there are themes! Mine defaulted to drunk for some reason and it's so horrible I didn't even realise I could change it!

On several of my previous projects I've been tasked with making the print broken, not just "disabled", to try and force people into the "happy path" where there's a download button. Despite the beforeprint event that would let me trigger the same process. (I've argued and lost that fight, more often than won it.)
In these fights, did they give the justification for the download button? I'm continuously frustrated by these types of things that go out of their way to break native functionality. Is there a way where they can get extra information and tracking on the user; is that the goal? To me the "happy path" is the one the user would naturally take, without needing to learn the quirks of each site.

#58Honorable mention: https://text.npr.org/ Not technically plaintext (in the MIME type sense), but still very lightweight, especially when compared to other news sites.

OP here - sorry you got the drunk theme. That shouldn't happen by default. Had you visited my site before? Are you using an esoteric browser I might not have tested?
Chrome in android
Re: A small collection of text-only websites
#60might as well add https://www.berkshirehathaway.com/ to the list
