Web frameworks

Yeah, I think that's about the size of it... Though the server would also deliver the executable (word) code, to control updates.

The canvas stuff isn't quite a set of widgets, though... Unless you want to write your own, drawing them with svg.

Didn't know about the include_once() thing. Sorry, I still think it's all a bit shit, PHP.

In addition, the HTML5/Javascript thing has an issue in that you might not want to give your source code away, which you pretty much have to is it's just text included in a web page.

I'm interested in maybe not a full-fledged framework but at least a stylesheet that can do responsive layouts of highly legible text that works on wide variety of browsers, phones, etc... something that looks as polished as medium or substack but at a fraction of the overhead, maybe even something like ILX?

I guess more generally, which sites load fast and are pleasant to read medium to longform text with occasional pictures?
