I mean, Github is doing a lot more than the documentation page for Bear, so it's a pretty meaningless comparison.

I'm also a fan of the "only as complex as needed, and no more" approach, but part of applying that approach is admitting when problems have a level of inherent complexity that calls for tools / frameworks to help manage it. The antidote to framework bloat is not the absence of frameworks, it's applying the right amount of them in the right places.

It’s not meaningless at all. GH is not optimized to load quickly. In fact it has so much meaningless fluff abstracting you from working that I would argue it’s a detriment not just to load speeds but use speeds.

While I agree you have to apply the right amount in the right places, the reality is most websites don’t follow this and use many multiples more than they need. Which is why the Internet is so needlessly bloated.
