The character limit is, in my opinion, the primary reason Twitter became so bad. It encourages absolute language (qualifiers take up characters!) It discourages any level of nuance. I use Mastodon which has a 500 limit, and even that sometimes is not enough.
The opposite of short exists. https://tuhat.net/about Also open source.

I'm responding to a specific claim that you put at the top of the page the linked to. > the [dependencies] used here were carefully selected because they do provide a benefit. You're moving the goalposts.
I don't think that's moving the goalposts. The goal isn't to minimize dependencies or avoid Node APIs. It's to make it easy to build a high-quality website with a good, simple developer / creator experience. The thing you linked doesn't meet the bar I'm aiming for, either for the resulting site or for the experience of building it. Astro helps me achieve those goals as part of this project, which is why I consider it…

And now you're applying a standard that was never claimed to have been met.
There's a way this back-and-forth could have gone, which is right after I emphasize that "The simplest way to build a high-quality site" doesn't belong at the top of the page because it doesn't reflect what you're actually doing, then you say, "Oh yeah, I see what you mean. I went ahead and changed it to something that's more accurate and (a little less hyperbolic). I'm not trying to fundamentally throw out the experience that people who are already familiar with building sites with conventional NodeJS-based frameworks like Astro are used to. Just trying to make it a little easier."
Instead we got this.

It picks up your system theme, so you can't be dark mode hater since you're already using it for your OS :P i didn't want to complicate it with user settings yet, but it can be added if there is demand.
Maybe OP customized the system “dark theme” to be extra light.
