What Hacker News says
4 sourcesOn the basis of great work of [simple.css](https://github.com/kevquirk/simple.css) and [Nicole White](https://github.com/nicolewhite/nicolewhite.github.io_old), only 10KB css file is needed (2.91KB transfered if you minify it ), no jQuery or Bootstrap at all.
* one html (1.46KB transfered / 1.86KB size)
* one css (3.91KB transfered / 10.42KB size)
* *optional* GitHub/mail/rss icons
* *optional* favicon
In my personal [blog](https://tsai002.github.io), I make these svgs and favicon inlined to html so that only two requests required:
* one html(6 icons included) (5.97KB transfered / 10.05KB size)
* one css (2.91KB transfered / 7.08KB size)
In Show HN: A beautiful blog theme with only two requests and less 10KB transferedCreator of Simple.css here.
Thanks for all the feedback and comments here, folks. It really is appreciated.
I’m not a professional web designer - this just started off as a personal project that I ended up publishing as people I shared it with seemed to like it.
I’m taking on board the various feedback from people much more knowledgeable than I here, again I really appreciate it.
If you do have feedback/changes I’d urge you to log an Issue or a PR on Github[1].
Also great to see so many other minimal CSS projects that I wasn't aware of. I’ll have to add an alternatives page to the site, I think.
