To me the idea of a small web is a great one. But then for some reason everyone equates small with "static builder" and before you know it you're into a hellscape of complexity with static site builders, SPAs and other madness. What happened to "I'll edit this .html file and FTP it up, with maybe a light sprinkling of CSS and js for any interactive elements"? Why did devs get obsessed with a deeply complex jamstack t…

Came here to say this. If I need to fiddle with NoScript just to read your web page, it isn't small.

Thanks for the feature. We made the website with https://build.mmm.page/ . It is the most fun wysiwyg builder I have used. Highly recommend it, bugs included.

Why? It’s text with some images. Even Word could do this better. Frontpage would be a massive improvement.

What value is this comment adding to the discussion?

Tiny Awards for Small Websites is awarded the prestigious and highly coveted "Boatload of Unecessary Javascript Blocking Content Award" by me.

Tiny in scope, not tiny in size.

It says nothing about page size, but 80% of the comments are pointless bickering about JavaScript by grumpy HN readers that prefer their web experience to be permanently stuck in 2005.

I will never understand how do you never get bored of fighting windmills.

Is this some kind of joke? This "tiny" web page loads content from 8 other sites. The html of the page is 122k big. Add to that more than a megabyte of useless javascript frameworks.

I hope not. I've just entered my poetry site for their consideration.

It doesn’t mention scope anywhere. It says “small web”, and last I checked “small” implies size, not scope.

How do you not get bored of fighting windmills?

>Why did devs get obsessed with a deeply complex jamstack type thing to do even incredibly simple sites?

When all you have are frameworks, everything looks like JavaScript.
