Great web design tips every web developer should become familiar with: http://motherfuckingwebsite.com/
@resist1984 Annoyingly, this purist website still manages to find time to stick Google Analytics tracking on.
@david indeed. You would think the http://bettermotherfuckingwebsite.com would have improved on that, or surely https://thebestmotherfucking.website would have, but no. Guess the state of the art still needs to evolve.
@TheDoctor @resist1984 @david pretty is nice if you've got the budget for polish.
And, ugly works really damn well, and often communicates better than super subtle nuance...
@resist1984 @david I actually put together an opinionated guide inspired the Motherfucking Website and the actual best motherfucking website. Text-oriented websites should work just fine in browser engines that don’t have a billion-dollar annual budget (NetSurf, Dillo, w3m, lynx, edbrowse, etc).
Also see the other small-web clubs: the 1MB Club, 512 KB Club, 250kb Club, 10 KB Club, NoJS Club, 1024B Club, and 0kb Club. I managed to get on all except the last two; my brotli-compressed homepage is a whopping 4-5 kilobytes (depending on which icons your browser loads).
I’d say that for a text-oriented website (most blogs), a 50kb JS-free homepage should be good enough.
@resist1984 @david And honestly, the motherfucking website is ugly as hell.
