Awesome. This should deem itself useful when I get that blog going.

Yeah, I'm aware. Just not a huge fan of the style. Also, "better motherfucking website" is obscured/minified so is not open to examining how it works (useful for beginners). It also adds Google Analytics (meh).

At least the original "motherfucking website" recognizes this with a comment :-)

I love this movement towards simpler, lighter websites. I also took huge inspiration from Practical Typography when styling my blog[0], which is all hand-written HTML/CSS with the absolute bare minimum of JS (and the site works fine with JS disabled, it just enables single-click copy for code blocks and the theme switcher).

The <pre> blocks overflow the container on the fancy view (Chrome/Windows 10).

Other than that, looks great!

Thanks!

I fixed the code blocks; I just messed up the numbers when I added variable markers and didn't notice
