The 512KB Club

The 512KB limit isn't just minimalism - it forces architectural discipline. I built a Trello alternative (frustrated with limitations: wanted rows and decent performance). Came in at ~55KB gzipped by following patterns, some of which I'm open sourcing as genX (genx.software - releasing this month): - Server renders complete HTML (not JSON that needs client-side parsing) - JavaScript progressively enhances (doesn't recreate what's in the DOM) - Shared data structures (one index for all items, not one per item) -…

Just scrolling through the list, it looked like many of them were blogs and personal websites. I'd be much more interested in seeing lean corporate websites, as those are made by teams with deadlines and requirements to actually look good Edit: Just noticed https://lichess.org/ is on the list

There is also the https://1mb.club We really do need some sort of major leap in Image Codec. Something even better than AV1 at bpp below 1. So we could at least fit a few decent image within 1MB club.

This excludes all artists. A single piece of graphics art exceeds 512KB in nearly all cases, except maybe low fidelity pixel art. Also all musicians. Half a meg even in the best audio codec is less than a minute of music.
