I think "single HTML file" sets up a certain expectation that a five-thousand-line long HTML file with ~3500 lines of embedded JS doesn't really live up to. I mean, hey, everything can be a single HTML file if you embed the bundle inline in your HTML!

Cool project, though - don't mean to take away anything from it.

I disagree - there is value in single file versus multiple file, even if the LoC are exactly the same.

It’s one reason Mac Apps get bundled as a single “file” from the user perspective. You don’t have to “install”, you just copy one file with everything. It’s a simpler dev experience.

Sure there are tradeoffs, but that’s great! We should accept that tradeoffs mean people can chose what works best for their specific context, rather than “best practices” which are silly.
