Ask HN: What do you think of HuffingtonPost.com?
For one of the top websites on the Internet, you'd think I'd have been on its homepage more often. The truth is that I just visited the Huffington Post's homepage for the first time. As it's been in the news lately, I wanted to see what it was like.
And wow, the homepage design is hideous. On top of that, the content quality is terrible. So what do you all think of the design and content? Does anyone here ever regularly use the website?
- paradox95 16y agoI have always thought that for the amount of success they have they could have hired some decent engineers. Specifically front-end. It is one of the reasons HuffPo isn't part of my regular news cycle. Many sites get 3-4 (sometimes more) views from me every day. If HuffPo looked vaguely good they would as well. Hopefully joining a tech company will bring with it some engineering talent and that will be fixed.
- keiferski 16y agoThey definitely need a new design. I really like the "broadsheet" style of their site, but it badly needs to be cleaned up.
- arn 16y agoI find this an interesting topic. So you guys thing Huffington Post was successful despite their home page design? The big headline feature seemed like it was modeled after Drudge Report... or maybe that's another style I was just unaware of. No one thinks the design was somehow contributory?
- dmazin 16y agoThe content? Considering the HuffPo hires dangerous quacks left and right, the content is a massive failure.
