I encourage people as much as I can to consider doing sites to use as little resources as needed.

Shameless plug, I recently put up the Leanternet directory of lean internet sites, you might like to see more of these kind of sites and the Leanternet principles at https://www.leanternet.com



Good to read this, I call this the Spartan Webdesign and describe it here[0].

The second button, “read the leanternet principles” is broken badly into 2 lines on my iphone


Thanks for pointing it out, will get it fixed shortly.

EDIT: Fixed.


I like the idea in principle, though in practice i noticed that there are a bunch of similar lists and all of them tend to have only 6-7 sites (half of them being the same).

I think there needs to be a more automated way of finding and sharing these sites, perhaps some browser extension?


Here is a longer list: https://old.reddit.com/r/SpartanWeb/

In theory a web crawler could check for Javascript inclusion and but crawling might be futile because most of the web is not "spartan".


Indeed, which is why I have also focused towards setting some principles which would hopefully guide others into understanding and applying the mindset.


There's also http://wiby.me, a search engine for finding lightweight pages and sites.
