The image loading on this site was pretty unbearable; the images loaded from the bottom up lazily and were pretty low resolution.
I ended up loading all the chapters before I read the 2nd page, so the rest of the pages would be ready for me. I don't know if the image loading was a design choice or just because of the HN traffic.
Very fascinating topic.
- chickenbane 10y agoAgreed, came here just to make this comment. It's silly that a piece comparing the two map apps - inherently very visual - has such bad imagery, especially considering the author clearly spent good time making those images. Worse, because of the image loading design I can't easily zoom. Would have been better there was no image loading and I could simply use Chrome!
