Doing it on one of my sites actually causes a pretty significant performance issue, because there's a horizontal carousel with infinite scroll behaviour, which gets flattened into a vertical list which keeps loading more pages indefinitely. Glad that I've tried this, that's definitely a problem to fix.
Somewhat related I think: I've been curious what others think. Is it taboo or poor taste in 2025 to have a site that is 100% text/plain with auto-indexing performed by the webserver? Are their any text/plain beautifiers that will format pages for people that like to read books? Such as adding page numbers, footers, structuring paragraphs correctly, making a table of contents with page numbers, converting hyperlinks. Is relying on the back button too much to ask?
I've been thinking about converting all my offliine-blog contents to purely text. I hard-block search engines so I would only care what humans and genetically modified primates think.
These aren't quite what you're looking for (an SSG theme that does fixed content layouts with pagination, etc with minimal styles by sounds of it), but inspired by similar ideas:

I feel like the first rule of nudity is that you also have to be naked or it’s weird. C’mon website, we’re waiting.
On my site I have code[0] to automatically strip on local timezones. Always a fun "Oh its April 9th!"

Why does the site have CSS then?
Its a fairly ragtag operation, they do do it, just manually and I guess nobody has gotten to it yet

“Do as I say not as I do” and other hypocritical expressions come to mind.

Totally forgot about this. My blog doesn't look too bad without CSS: https://theandrewbailey.com/x-naked

Are you ready to get naked?
My little page seems to pass (submitted things here previously, but it's not naked currently)Firefox used to have a menu "style" where you could toggle CSS files or just switch them off
View -> Page Style -> No Style.
oh thanks, but only accessible with "alt" key? not in the hamburger?
Hamburger -> More Tools -> Customize Toolbar --> Toolbars (dropdown) -> Menu Bar (checkbox), then hit Done.
Or just right click on a toolbar and check Menu Bar from there. This assumes a non-defective mouse though.
that's a lot of work oO but thanks!
Visible on macOS, possible that it's hidden on other OSes.
