This lean approach is so refreshing! ἱF The web has definitely gotten bloated - sites that take forever to load just to show a simple article.

I"m a huge advocate for lean design, especially from an accessibility perspective. Clean, fast-loading sites work better with screen readers and voice navigation tools. Plus, they"re much more productive to work with as a developer.

A few lean principles I"d add:

-   Prioritize semantic HTML over complex div structures
-   Use system fonts when possible (saves load time and feels native)
-   Consider voice UX - can users navigate your site by speaking?

I"ve found that lean design actually forces you to think harder about user needs vs. developer wants. What looks impressive in a design system might be terrible for actual productivity.

The performance benefits alone are worth it - especially for mobile users on slower connections. Great reminder to keep things simple! Ὠ0
