> no banner, no logo, no favicon...Also, no share button. No top/recommended articles. No view counter.

All of which I can live without.

Still the best way of sharing content on the web is via a url, which is handily provided, so most of these aren't even needed. As for recommended and view counts, these don't inherently add a lot of value to users. If anything, it's a nice change to have a page that doesn't try and infer my desires for once.



Should have said stats instead of counter. As the webmaster, you want to know how many visitors there are on which pages?

A simple "last 5 articles" in the corner do add value. Users frequently read more than one article.


You can get that from your logs though?


Usually not, because the hosting doesn't provide access to request logs (consider github pages, heroku, wordpress, LAMP providers).
