simple is better

Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.
— Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Keeping things simple (and independent) is very important in my opinion. But unfortunately, since at the beginning it is often faster, and especially needs much less thinking and experience to make it (unnecessarily) complex, that's what most people do...

So, the purpose of this site is to show some "simple alternatives" – or at least some "things", where I tried hard to (a) keep them simple and (b) split them into independent parts.
