I'd love it the SQLite page wrapped content in a div of a reasonable max-width. Text running edge-to-edge is hard to read.

Anyone know if the site is hosted on GitHub?

I agree, although I also dislike text that's wrapped in a too narrow div with tiny text :) There are a couple of user styles here that look like what you're after if you've got the Stylish/Stylus extension installed:

I've never understood this position - if you want sites to be no wider than a particular width, can't you just make your browser that width?

I usually have things set up such that my browser only takes up half of one of my monitors and the amount of websites that don't handle this properly is ridiculous, even Hacker News has a scroll bar at the bottom because the bar at the top is too wide.

That was somewhat tangential, sorry, but it's been really bugging me recently and I wanted to vent.

I do a lot of front end work and this is a pet peeve of mine. And I _still_ screw it up sometimes. For whatever reason, layout is still really hard to get bug-free.

CSS Grid will help a lot as it gains adoption, but if FlexBox's adoption is any indication, that won't be for some time.

Since sqlite uses fossil for its scm, I thought that fossil drove the web site. It does for fossil.
