- Using a [plain text](plain_text.md) file instead of a dedicated [bug](bug.md) tracker (TODO.txt), note taking program etc.
- Creating website in plain [HTML](html.md) instead of using some complex web framework such as [Wordpress](wordpress.md).

- Supporting only [ASCII](ascii.md) instead of [Unicode](unicode.md), it is [good enough](good_enough.md).
- Using a plain text flat file instead of a [database](database.md) system.
- Using [markdown](markdown.md) for creating documents, as opposed to using office programs such as [Libreoffice](libreoffice.md).
