Doing it on one of my sites actually causes a pretty significant performance issue, because there's a horizontal carousel with infinite scroll behaviour, which gets flattened into a vertical list which keeps loading more pages indefinitely. Glad that I've tried this, that's definitely a problem to fix.

I feel like the first rule of nudity is that you also have to be naked or it’s weird. C’mon website, we’re waiting.

On my site I have code[0] to automatically strip on local timezones. Always a fun "Oh its April 9th!"

Why does the site have CSS then?

Somewhat related I think: I've been curious what others think. Is it taboo or poor taste in 2025 to have a site that is 100% text/plain with auto-indexing performed by the webserver? Are their any text/plain beautifiers that will format pages for people that like to read books? Such as adding page numbers, footers, structuring paragraphs correctly, making a table of contents with page numbers, converting hyperlinks. Is relying on the back button too much to ask?

I've been thinking about converting all my offliine-blog contents to purely text. I hard-block search engines so I would only care what humans and genetically modified primates think.

Totally forgot about this. My blog doesn't look too bad without CSS: https://theandrewbailey.com/x-naked

Firefox used to have a menu "style" where you could toggle CSS files or just switch them off

Are you ready to get naked?

  ['style','link[rel=stylesheet]','link[type="text/css"]'].forEach(selector => document.querySelectorAll(selector).forEach(e => e.parentNode.removeChild(e)));
  document.querySelectorAll('[style]').forEach(el => el.removeAttribute('style'));

My little page seems to pass (submitted things here previously, but it's not naked currently)
