"The real problems with Pinterest are the awful awful awful mobile experience which is very hostile to the user. Almost embarrassing. I don't post any links to Pinterest anywhere because of that hateful experience."
What's awful about it?
- leppr 11y agoTry browsing it while not logged-in. You'll never want to come back to it again.
- inthewoods 11y agoSo you regard the experience as bad because they don't offer an experience that doesn't require logging in?
- leppr 11y agoThey make you taste the product then slap you in the face one second after. Yes, putting a nag up over content (especially which you don't own) while someone is looking at it is the mental equivalent to slapping that person on the face. Only on the internet does this seem to be a best practice. (Furthermore there's nothing inherent to the experience's design that prevents it from being delivered to non logged-in users, the block is artificial, not a design constraint)
