I take a look at write.as (the hosted version), and find one of the first posts in the community section: https://write.as/tmo/5-30-am-coffee-to-kick-things-off

This post has just over 1800 characters (copy/pasted everything visible into Notepad++), no images whatsoever, and it takes 776ms to load and transfers 238 kilobytes.

Why are minimalist seeming web sited often so obese (https://idlewords.com/talks/website_obesity.htm)?

dunno. is it due to scripts on html page that does highlighting? or

Thanks for the link! Starred / bookmarked, will look closer before jumping onto substack or revue (twitter's new thing).

Writefreely is awesome, and their devs were highly available in my experience with them. Discovered when Medium went the way of paywalls, I've donated several times to help keep the project alive.
