Tufte CSS VS recoll-webui

As it is often said in various designer forums, please avoid pure white (#FFFFFF) on black (here #111111), as it makes the text glow for the human eyes (therefore making it unreadable for long text). Instead, try to lower a bit the contrast on the text color.

Also, the dispositions for the buttons at the beginning (GitHub, NPM, ...) are not adjusted correctly for keyboard navigation (each button requires two tabs).

Appart from that, I do like a minimalist stylesheet, so I will also recommend Tufte CSS [0] for readers.

CSS and HTML is great for documents - not so great for applications. Most sites end up implementing their own navigation UI/UX at a minimum (an application) - many end up as more applications.

For an example of "documents", see eg:

Just for kicks, I applied Tufte CSS[0] onto the page using a browser extension. Great ROI.

A famous physicist, Richard Feynman, had a practice in his his extensive writing, e.g. a three-volume physics text, to use the methodology of sentences which then cumulate sequentially into paragraphs. (ht Ed Tufte)

Recoll is not just a desktop search engine, it can also be used as an intranet search engine either 'stand-alone' [1] or as an 'engine' in Searx [2]. I made the Searx engine a few years ago to extend Searx to intranet search, the QT qui is not used (an, on Debian, not even installed - only the 'recollcmd' package is needed).
