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.

What about "single HTML file" sets up an expectation about size? I'm genuinely confused. They seem like nearly unrelated concepts—this isn't a project about trying to fit a kanban board into a kilobyte or anything like that.

Why mention it when any project can technically be turned into a single html file? In my opinion there is an expectation of simplicity and as a result a small size with that statement.

The simplicity isn't in editing it, which most users never will do. It is in that you can drop a single file anywhere and not worry about its dependencies.
