Two Years and Over 700 Websites Later

Mon, 18 Jul 2022

Although the second "birthday" of the 1MB Club is officially November
19, I couldn't help by write down some of my thoughts about this
project over the past two years. I honestly have nothing but positive
things to say and the amount of interest in this silly side project
has been wonderful!

Some Fun Stats

Let's take a look at some stats that don't mean anything of real
importance (please note - these figures are based on stats collected
at the time of writing):

The Github repo has the following:

  * 290 stars
  * 197 forks
  * 391 commits
  * 246 contributors
  * 351 pull requests (all closed!)

Some fun facts about the website itself:

  * 742 total members
  * Total size of all member websites combined: 169.4 MB
  * Average member website size: 228.3 KB
  * 8 Hall of Fame members (thank you!)
  * 3 website redesigns since launch (read more)
  * Switched hosting from Netlify to NearlyFreeSpeech.NET
  * Recently added a web-focused blog

Closing Thoughts

I'm still passionate about making a leaner, more performance-based
web. I still get excited seeing another member request pop into my
inbox. I love getting to visit those submitted websites and
discovering something new on the internet. Something I otherwise
would have probably missed. It's a good reminder how truly massive
the size of the internet is.

I should also mention that the members who have requested to join
have been nothing but nice. It's been great interacting with so many
others who share the same passion for a "smaller" web footprint. My
hope is to keep this collection growing for as long as I possibly
can.

Thanks for reading,

- Brad
