Good reading experiences are often built from details that almost disappear: a visible focus ring, a useful skip link, a line length that never asks too much of the eye.
Still keeps those details close to the foundation. Its markup is semantic, its motion respects reduced-motion preferences, and its print styles remove the interface when paper is the better medium.

- Start with meaningful HTML.
- Make every control work from a keyboard.
- Keep contrast strong in both color modes.
- Ship only the code the reader needs.
That is enough for a quiet theme to feel considered rather than empty.
