Would argue the same as others that this still falls more into “brutalist” rather than minimalism.

My website[0] is far from ideal, but certainly falls in line better with the term “minimalism” (page speed, assets loaded, initial paint etc)

Not to “self promote” but I recently shared an article[0] detailing how I personally manage comments on my blog.

It allows you to access Secrets via browser extension on those platforms (if I remember correctly)

I’ve recently jumped the 1Password ship myself. I work mostly on Mac and iOS, so it was a no-brainer to switch to Secrets[0].

One time purchase, indie devs, support for use on Windows / Linux etc. Been very happy thus far.

This was a great write-up and very helpful. Been looking to make the switch over to something like this myself.

I’ve been in ketosis for roughly the last 4-5 years and I honestly couldn’t see myself going back to a “standard” diet. I’ve lost any real need to track macros heavily and have entered a state of “lazy keto” as some refer to it.

I didn’t switch for any weight loss reasons (I was quite in shape before starting - and still am). I merely just wanted to try it since I had seen it mentioned. For me the biggest switch over was the mental focus and energy benefits. I don’t wake up groggy anymore. My attention to detail has significantly increased. I feel more energetic and require less sleep.

These things are all personal and _not_ something guaranteed for everyone. But if you’re interested I’d say give a solid go.

A big fan of Simple CSS (I see a lot of personal sites using it, actually). I’ll also share my own minimal, classless CSS framework Vanilla CSS[0]

Just slap a viewport tag in the head of that bad boy and call it a day :)

For those interested, I’ve created a Jekyll theme based on this very setup[0]

I also created a forked SSG based off of https://portable.fyi/ [1]

Came here to say exactly this. Out in rural Canada (Ontario) it is extremely difficult to find reliable, fast, unlimited access.

With Starlink delaying a good deal of preorders, something like this could be great.

I turned mine into a pretty decent personal computer by switching over to booting via SSD. Some of the heat sink was removed and some inner plastic was sanded away to fit the SSD directly inside.

I even wrote about it[0] if anyone is interested!

What a shame - my broken concept somewhat fixed by the browsers…

And thank _you_ for having a lightweight site ;)

This would be awesome if the line wrapping issue was perfected on mobile.

For something less efficient and more stupid, I created Super Pseudo[0] a while back. Full website where all the content is solely in CSS.

That project sounds really awesome actually - have any links or write ups on it?

Agreed with the cables. I’m keeping my eye out for some sort of minimal, flat ribbon cable that I could possibly have flush against the side of the casing.

Good call! Will add it to my TODO list

Yes someone else pointed that out as well - I plan to update the article soon!

If you’re referring to my personal site[0] - I agree 100% that is currently overly complex (working on updating it to be CSS-free soon)

It’s almost like a jump back to the 90s web. I find it refreshing!

> Mobile first often made the experience suck for desktops.

I’d have to argue that poor design work in general is the cause for this. “Mobile first” never meant to neglect the desktop experience - designers who do that are just poor designers to begin with.

That’s actually the post that inspired me! (I even commented on that original posting[0])

Please let me know if you run into any issues along the way.

I just launched Writxt[0] a “walkthrough” to let you setup your own SMS to blog platform.

I also put up a stupid side project ThriftyName[1] where you get a brand name for $5.

I posted the same in the parent comment above:

In case you were curious, I've just built out a project that walks through how to set up your own (very crude) SMS to Jekyll blog[0]

Really it would just be to tinker with it and maybe have sort of "notes" or "micro posts" on my own personal blog. Any changes / adaptions I happen to make I would certainly open source as well (although my programming quality might not be as good as your current project for all I know...)

I looked into basic Twilio SMS setup very recently, but it looked like I would find myself heavily invested in their documentation just to spin up something like you've made.

I would also love to see this open sourced (even partially?). Would be awesome to setup some personal “blogs” based on this.

Depends on the original size of the font. Tends to increase that size by roughly 133%.

Just for reference, the project has been updated to allow users to disable this automatic conversion[0]

[0] https://phpetite.org/#2021-02-18-disable-image-to-base64-con...

Agreed 100%.

I plan to include an option to disable this for those who want to include images separately / hosted by 3rd parties.

Thank you for sharing - this looks fantastic!

I'm normally a big fan of the web design work from Stripe - but this page is a mess on mobile Safari (iOS 10.3.3). It seems more and more companies are dropping basic support for "older" devices and it's a real shame. Having this look great on even very old devices should be simple, since this page doesn't even do anything that "cutting edge".
