I remember this web page. What's hilarious is that practically none of it uses semantic markup and it's all rendered in a giant table, so you can't use browser-native functionality like Safari Reader.
The page also uses so many images the page weight comes in over a meg.
It's all hypocrisy.
- megous 8y agoSeems like an issue with your browser then. Firefox reader mode works. Not pretty, but readable. Having 100 images totaling ~ 1MB is pretty good.
- jonahx 8y agoThe images are part of the content here. The article attacks pointless obesity -- not large web pages period. Indeed, here is the first paragraph: > Let me start by saying that beautiful websites come in all sizes and page weights. I love big websites packed with images. I love high-resolution video. I love sprawling Javascript experiments or well-designed web apps. Also, the article never mentions the word "semantic" or the best practices around markup. There is no hypocrisy here.
- andrewmcwatters 8y agoWell then the sprit of the whole thing is just worthless. Why focus just on page weight? Why not also whether or not I should see tons of thumbnails I don't care about (which is pointless obesity), or attention to using the technology correctly in the first place? Taking a single concept by itself out of all of web development and advocating for it is such a pointless game. All the images are meme-tier garbage. It's such a distraction. It is hypocrisy.
