I sign up but no email was send. The css should either leave the default colors alone or set both the background and font color. The source of this page contains much more cruft in meta tags and than actual content. https://herman.bearblog.dev/markdown-test/
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…
Huh... I've always described 2^10 bytes as a "kilobyte" (kB) but I've always hated the ambiguity, even if the difference between 2^10 and 10^3 is usually not important. Thanks to this comment, I learned there is an formal set of units which are distinct from their SI counterparts[0]. 1000^1 kB, 1024^1 kibibyte (kiB) 1000^2 MB, 1024^2 mebibyte (MiB) 1000^3 GB, 1024^3 gibibyte (GiB) 1000^4 TB, 1024^4 tebibyte (TiB) 100…
[edit: add qualifying "many"]
The loading times of on Bear Blog seem a bit too high? Where does Medium for example take 16s to load?
I 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 really recommend https://write.as/ for those looking for minimalism with a bit more styling
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…
What I want is a Yahoo-style directory for blogs. Blog owners can put their blog in exactly one category. Users can star the blogs they like, similar to GitHub, and identify the low quality click generators/marketing blogs. I personally find Medium to be a horrible way to find content. Maybe it works for new content, if that's what you're after.

There's really nothing more minimal than https://telegra.ph It just gets out of the way.

It's so hard to take a site with serif fonts seriously. It would be worth the 8th css declaration if the author added `font-family: sans-serif;`.
I don't have data to back it up, but I've understood from typography gurus that sans-serif fonts are great for signs, short blurbs, etc. But for long (multi-paragraph) reads serif fonts reduce eye fatigue. I think blogs typically fit in that category.
