Comment on The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Simple Websites

I have had an account on Deviantart for almost 20 years, and up untill last year I used to upload my photos to my gallery there.

However over the years it has only gotten worse, it is slow, annoying and have had features removed that I wanted.

So last year, I set up a simple menu system and started generating photo galleries in digiKam, and upload galleries there instead, and it is soo much more responsive.

The menu I wrote is built in HTML and CSS, the galleries digiKam exports for me do use Javascript but only to aid in navigating the galleries with the arrow keys, so everything loads instantly.

When I publish new galleries I do need to edit the HTML code in the menu (and one line in the gallery) but it is as easy as I can make it while still giving me some options.
