J.K. Rowling is releasing a new novel chapter by chapter called "The Ickabog" on a website [1]. I went there, fully expecting some over-engineered and productized site, and was pleasantly surprised that it's a very clean, static site: webmobile optimized, light svg graphics, clean markup.

No bullshit, just focused on the text and reading.

Hoping that more authors take this route when releasing stuff for the web.

Indeed! This is a very pleasant site. And very happy to see no analytics/tracking. Excellent example, thanks.
