Their re-re-design is a slight improvement but much of my issue with the Reddit re-design isn't simply the initial layout (although the excess whitespace is irksome) it is many things:
- Slow / high CPU usage
- Comments don't /really/ open. Instead it is this strange modal-like experience with these "suicide" dark bars at either side that redirects you to that subreddit or the reddit homepage losing your position on the comments.
- Tons of whitespace everywhere.
- Infinite scroll
- More visual distractions ("Trending today", larger image ads, more embedded ads, the footer is now on the right instead of bottom, etc).
- Too much emphasis on stuff that isn't important. Content should be king but they list "r/AskReddit •Posted XXXYYYY 12 hours ago" first so you have to visually skim passed it, annoying Join button (which is a solution to a non-problem), and a comments button that does the same thing as just clicking the title (rather than taking you to the actual content).
I could go on.
- lancesells 7y agoTotally agree on it being slow. Displaying a list of links should not be slow. Too many design and dev teams try to make these interactive JS apps in the browser that are terribly slow and anti-user.
