The HN headline has been changed from the website's title. The website is called minimal.design but has nothing to do with minimal websites. As far as I can tell, it's more about certain minimalist visual design principles.

> Minimal Gallery was accidentally brought to life when I started collecting websites as inspiration for client projects, screenshotting and categorizing them for better organization. And never stopped.

I don't think it even fits that description. Most of the examples feature copious amounts of highly unnecessary animations. If you take a snapshot it looks kinda minimalist, but if you see it in motion it doesn't really feel like that.

All of the websites in the top-row require JS, so I stopped looking at that point. To me, requiring JS is not minimalist, and those random sites aren't important enough for me to enable JS on them.
