Yeah, I recently made a portfolio site for a friend. Very minimalist: https://christinelopez.ca

It's hand written. This was also an early web thing: no npm build pipeline. I feel a little bad not making the modal view fallback to image-is-a-link when JS is disabled (I also would've opted for no google fonts, but it ultimately isn't my site)

Meanwhile another friend built a similar site: https://kaeillustrates.art which may have more of that Gen-Z aesthetic (albeit we're millennials, so it doesn't go overboard) & is built on tailwind/react

Hopefully minimalist-as-fashion design will go away & minimalist sites can return to being small memory/dependency footprint



I actually really that that site design!

One note: can you tag that NSFW or somesuch? Even artistic nudity can be unwelcome and get people in trouble.


Surprisingly, his site seemed to load faster for me.


That's the thing. Computers have become so fast & bandwidth so wide that the bottleneck is primarily latency


Interesting point!
