2. The app should feel finished and polished.
3. It's ok if the app is not a game.

Tech stack

1. We generate web pages using a custom Python script.
2. The template engine is Jinja2.
3. The data is stored in YAML files.
4. For CSS styling, we use Bootstrap. It's a bit fat (36 KB compressed) and requires divs in divs but nice looking, easy to use, and does not require using the fat NPM ecosystem.
5. For icons, we use Iconoir. They are nice-looking and small. We only use a few icons per page, so there is no need to bring the whole FontAwesome pack or bother with IcoMoon.
