This is a simple website for a reason. I want it to last for a very long time.
Here are the reasons my website is simple.
- Facebook will one day die and take my posts and photos with it
- Instagram will one day die and take all my photos with it
- I want to take back ownership of my stuff and this is my first big step
- I have built this website to be as simple as possible
- Using the backbone of Bearblog, who's manifesto really resonates with me
- Simple HTML and CSS, minimal photos
- I can maintain it without paying a multinational company a monthly fee.
- It loads very quickly (you might have noticed that)
I came across a very funny but sobering set of websites that advocate for simplifying the web, and i was convinced. My then website seemed very bloated and slow, i knew there was a better way. That was is text. Keep it mainly text based and life is simple.
