I can't ignore the UX of this as simply not conducive to an article. It gives off such a strong PR vibe. Maybe it's just me

- crmrc114 7y agoYeah, the whole scrolling for data thing is cancer. Who do people think this is how users want to ingest information? Its the 2020's equivalent of a flash based website.
- mrlala 7y agoI read way more of that article with their design than I would have if i just clicked into a full text article.
- wutwutwutwut 7y agoI really enjoyed it. Am I holding it wrong?
- manmal 7y agoPersonally, I like how this website is styled. It’s really well executed. I think it caters to a very broad audience - people have become used to full screen pictures and small bites of texts evenly distributed (eg in Instagram Stories).
- djKianoosh 7y agoI for one loved the presentation. To each their own I guess. The photography was great.
- floatrock 7y agoIs the information to be ingested the short text or the photography? A picture says a thousand words. It also contains far more kb of information.
- NikolaNovak 7y agoI tend to open & read articles on a vertical (Portrait-mode) 27" monitor. The amount of scrolling required to read a single sentence is... epic-legendary :=O Edit: At the same time, my wife, who tends to prefer her phone: "I haven't finished it.. But such a visual treat. Interesting how they did that. Makes it feel very interactive." So I'm clearly just not the target audience, which is fair enough :-)
- wruza 7y agoAlso funny when authors rely on 3-line per scroll steps, but you have it set to 5 or 7 system-wide.
- kibwen 7y agoI don't consider this an article so much as a series of captioned photographs and short videos. From that perspective, the experience is lovely (though perhaps overengineered).
- tomc1985 7y agoNot to mention my finger hurts from using the scroll wheel so much.
