Should have done it on one of those tiny-fonted 1998 Blogger templates.
- NicoJuicy 11y agoOnly when there is a need for it, there is not a need for it when you write a dedicated article :)
- boomlinde 11y agoNow, obviously I’m not suggesting you should go clutter up your design work, or make it look crappy on purpose. I’m also not suggesting that the examples above couldn’t be improved. My point is: there is no single right way to do things. There’s no reason to assume that having a lot of links or text on a page, or a dense UI, or a sparse aesthetic is fundamentally bad — those might be fine choices for the problem at hand. Especially if it’s a big, hairy problem.
- mbrock 11y agoDoes anybody really love Medium, though?
- LeoNatan25 11y agoI do, and so do many others. Granted, I am just a reader, not a writer.
- Jordrok 11y agoInterestingly, I thought that was exactly the case at first. Since the domain of the link is actually signalvnoise.com, Privacy Badger blocks most of the requests to medium.com and leaves the article as unstyled text. I would have been perfectly fine with this, but the images got really confused for some reason and would only load as tiny ~30x30 thumbnails. I'm not sure whether to blame Privacy Badger or Medium, but this isn't the first time I've had problems with the funky progressive scaling thing Medium does with images.
