This page loads so fast , why can't all pages be like this? :)

The static site movement seems to be the modern embodiment of this philosophy. The tools to generate them (eg Jekyll) might be clunky compared to Notepad but it's definitely a positive thing in this day and age of ever-bloated websites.

My personal site does not have any JS, but honestly at this point what I really want is an app where I can edit the page and see the markup and then press a button and it will generate and upload the content to my website.

I tried to finagle gitlab into it (since they offer free hosting and CI) but I haven't gotten the last step to quite work yet. Would be awesome to be able to work in both of line mode or through my Chromebook, and sync everything with git.

Craigslist, HN. Still good–old, fast and extremely useful.

Most newer crap–web has more bugs than features and nearly defunct after all. My opinion is that in this stupid century of hype, ADD, dyslexia and internal censorship immutability is the most precious asset. And swisswatch-like software can be the next big thing.

PS. Booking.com is also cool. BTW, it is still powered by Perl.

It’s easy, just install NoScript and you’ll find the web loads at the same speed.

True enough but an increasing number of sites I visit load fast because without JavaScript they don't show anything at all!
