Modern web development has become incredibly complex. We build layers upon layers of abstraction to render simple text on a screen.

There is a certain beauty in the raw <p> tag. It loads instantly. It is readable on everything from a 4K monitor to a terminal browser. It respects the user's agent stylesheet.

This blog attempts to replicate that feeling. No heavy CSS frameworks (well, we use Tailwind utility classes to mimic the lack of style, ironically), no 5MB JavaScript bundles for a simple article.
