This no-js-no-css trend is gaining traction

What's not to like! 0K CSS, responsive, works in desktop, mobile and tablets, and not to mention blazing fast load speed.

Responsive? I have to scroll past the left column ("Site Navigation") to read anything. That's the opposite of responsive (e.g. 2 columns on wider screens, 1 in mobile).

It looks exactly as it does on mobile!

If 2kb of CSS makes the difference between "blazing fast" and not "blazing fast", I think that's on you :)

NoJS I was aware of (and support where it makes sense, which is most of the time), but NoCSS? When did that start, and why?

I'd assume it's a joke.

But also...

I'd hardly call it a trend because It's been a thing for as long as I've used the web; but some 'classic' style programmers seem to opt out of CSS for their personal sites. One such example is Dan Luu [0], who wrote in a post [1] that styling decreased his viewership.

Additionally, it can emphasize good structure that was concealed with CSS

Anyone who uses the abominable table border design from HTML1 needs some special kind of punishment.

There's ... something ... to be said for a site with minimal markup which works in text-mode browsers.

Though direct usage of those is probably a sliver of a fraction of all online usage, this also means that automated tools can work with a website. Scraping has both dark and light patterns and use-cases.

Now I can read it in Emacs

Eww :) Pun intended!

By the way, has anyone used the eaf-browser? I use the other eaf applications like PDF viewer, but for some reason, the eaf-browser seems to eat up a lot of resources.

That's because eaf-browser just uses chrome in a docker container, does screencaps -> ocr, then runs spellcheck, plus chatgpt on top for sanity checks, then copies it all back from an aws instance.
