   One of the things that drives me nuts about the modern Web is that you could write a plain text file, save it as "index.html", and it will display just fine. And everyone seems to have forgotten this.

     @foolishowl the problem is that "look good" needs to mean "have the look controlled" because accessibility and user experience are antifeatures when compared to the ability to make the browser a desktop app

     @lanodan @foolishowl i like how in 2023 it’s still possible to ssh into your university linux account, put some html text files in your public AFS folder and boom you have a website.

     @nantucketebooks @foolishowl I believe you mean: "the default rendering by browsers can be a little blunt", if I'm wrong sorry

     But that is something we could fix with better *browsers* rather than forcing individual pages to have styling

     @foolishowl The bare-bones HTML can be a little blunt. I need just a little bit of styling, something like readable.css adds a few kilobytes of overhead.
