I liked the minimlistic approach of Svbtle, so I created a super simple Git+Markdown-based blog that draws inspiration from Svbtle.

The background dots behind the text make this a chore to read, I had to give up as this was hurting my eyes.


Silicon Valley appears to think there is a fine line between "drawing inspiration" and "copying." There isn't and to be honest, your output is a good example of the latter, not the former.


What makes you say that? I'm looking at the two side by side right now and they are vastly different. What has svbtle created that is being copied?


I'm pretty sure the distinction is "It's inspiration when I do it, it's copying when you do it." :)
