That site turned me off. I am using DDG as my primary search engine for many months now.
I really dislike the style and "atmosphere" of that site. The images are seemingly unordered and could use some borders. The images of the dog biting the women or the predator disgust me. Then some "motivationals" and memes that do not help the case.
This site gave me mental stress (the left-alignment of varied sized text and images maybe, maybe the white, maybe the images) and overall broke a chunk off the good impression the DDG creator gave me so far. I'd suggest either not making such weird site or at least make it properly designed.
(When I clicked the link I expected it to be related to the http://hackademix.net/2010/12/28/x-do-not-track-support-in-noscript/ http://hackademix.net/2010/12/28/x-do-not-track-support-in-n... disaster which dramatically "uniquifies" your browser fingerprint so I started with a bad feeling. Thanks for adding ad-blocking recommendations though! And even more so: Tor!)
- epi0Bauqu 16y agoTruly sorry about that -- of course not the intention. I tried to keep it as simple as possible, and didn't iterate much on the design. I'm open to design changes if anyone has any concrete ideas. Personally I hate disgusting images, and didn't think those two rose to that level. If anyone has suggestions for equally good replacements, I'm fine with that too.
- edw519 16y agoTruly sorry about that... Whenever anyone begins with "That site turned me off," it may be a good idea to hear their feedback, but it does not necessarily follow that they deserve an apology or that you need to act upon that feedback. I think you're dealing with an outlier, and we already know what trying to please them can lead to. If anyone has suggestions for equally good replacements, I'm fine with that too. Don't change a thing. As Edward Everett said to Abraham Lincoln at Gettysburg: "I should be glad, if I could flatter myself that I came as near to the central idea of the occasion, in two hours, as you did in two minutes."
- jsrfded 16y agoI thought it was hilarious. Agree that the poster is an outlier.
- benatkin 16y agoThe only thing that really annoyed me was the proper spelling of "now" in the lolcat.
- samtp 16y agoIt looks like something that was thrown up quickly. If you have 'mental stress' because some pictures and text lacks design, the problem may be you, not the website.
- aw3c2 16y agoSurely that might be the case, I was simply stating my experience.
- foljs 16y ago"This site gave me mental stress" Take it easy, man! I mean, whatever...
