Interesting, anecdote, but user tests show that you are in the minority. About 80% of people immediately scroll down when they reach a new page with sparse content at the top of the page.
- idoh 17y agoWhat happens to the other 20%?
- ghotli 17y agoWe are still working out the best patterns for web browsing. The web is still surprisingly young. That 20% will learn eventually. Make it easy on the eyes, space it out, consider your use of typography, and avoid TL;DR. These concepts seem like they will persist. To use those design tenants we just need more space. If that means moving the meat of the page below the fold and keeping a nice hook up at the top then I believe that's the way future web design patterns will go.

- aw3c2 17y agoI do not believe that. Especially for the quick/stress/next-page/new-link people, what they first see must keep them around.
- mhansen 17y agoUser tests for this page? Or basecamp's page? This page looks complete without having to scroll down.
