Damn it's nice reading a simple static site like this. Links open instantly to the next fully laid out page of content. If only the rest of the web could be like this..

Worth nothing, that react application (using React Server Components?)! If you have javascript enabled, it renders as a single page app, fetching each additional page via an API. If you disable JS, it renders it all on the server.

Ugh, that explains why it hangs for a quarter second any time I scroll with the mousewheel.

Agreed but where is the actual git repo? I see a text saying this "contents get updated automatically on every commit to this git repository" but where is "this git repository"?

I can't find a link to the source anywhere.

Gitbook is not a simple static site generator.

There are a also ton of outbound requests for JS on first load.

Damn it's nice to log onto Hacker News and see yet another top comment on an interesting article be bike shedding about webshit. And also wrong because if you crack open your react dev tools and have a peak inside the 2MB of javascript you'll see that this site is still everything you despise.

I see literally two dozen JS scripts run when I open the page.

But how will the author know the last 500 websites you visited and where your eyes are looking right now and what you ate last Tuesday? They should put some AnAlYtIcS in.
