Oskar Wickström ☛ How I Built “The Monospace Web”
Recently, I published The Monospace Web, a minimalist design exploration. It all started with this innocent post, yearning for a simpler web. Perhaps too typewriter-nostalgic, but it was an interesting starting point. After some hacking and sharing early screenshots, @noteed asked for vertical alignment, and down the rabbit hole I went.
This morphed into a technical challenge, while still having that creative aspect that I started with. Subsequent screenshots with the fixed grid and responsive tables sparked a lot of interest. About a week later I published the source, and since then there’s been a lot of forks. People use it for their personal web sites, mostly, but also for apps.
I’d like to explain how it works. Not everything, just focusing on the most interesting parts.
