While I agree with the overall sentiment, browsers like Dillon and Lynx don't even implement HTTP caching correctly (they cache everything regardless of the headers).

JavaScript is not their biggest problem, as they can plug in one of the existing engines (in fact one of the links forks does just that).

Perhaps from the implementation standpoint, but from the user standpoint it's second to none. For example, it's the only one I know that supports dual subtitles (--secondary-sid in mpv). For more advanced features, it also allows you to pass CLI flags to mpv, e.g. for things like `--video-stereo-mode=sbs2l` (subtitles and UI for 3D videos).

Also, enable "Run mpv in its own window" under Preferences -> Advanced. This removes all the issues caused by the default mode of embedding the mpv window (such as subtitles being on the video and not in the black bars).

Thank you for your work on mpv!

SMPlayer is a great frontend for mpv.

Roaming costs are price gouging, the associated costs of providing roaming are nowhere near.

I've played around with it. These CPUs are fast enough (certainly faster than Heroku and the like). However, ScaleWay still does not provide automated disk backups, and manual snapshot requires you to shut down the instance first, so I went back to Linode.

We've built the Thredded forums engine (https://thredded.org) with the same goals in mind. The entire CSS is 10KiB, JavaScript loads asynchronously and is optional.

> The "front page" with the list of existing boards is particularly bad

A possible solution: https://github.com/thredded/thredded/pull/525

What do you think?

Thank you for your feedback!

> It has a lot of whitespace [...]

Whitespace can be reduced across the board by adjusting a variable:

https://github.com/thredded/thredded/blob/1a60bcc7618270afeb...

For the homepage, I'm going to try removing the vertical spacing between the cards.

> on a desktop [...] maybe put the name besides the post instead of on top

Definitely going to try that!

> A lot of elements have dynamic positions (e.g. the date, the author) which makes it quite hard to quickly scan the overviews for them.

I didn't realize there is a use-case for scanning through these. No good ideas yet on how to improve this.

> Image support?

By default only externally referenced images are supported, but integrating with third-party uploading services is easy. For example, here is how to do it with Shubox.io:
