I think sourcehut's site looks like a cluttered, ugly mess. I'm glad that your opinion is in the minority, because I like that the web has moved far beyond late 90s-early 2000s design.
- fermienrico 7y agoAs I said, "ugliness" is subjective. I also don't think it is particularly beautiful.
- yeezul 7y agoAgreed. If I somehow end up on a similar looking website, I'd often close it and move on to the next result on Google. My brain automatically associate that UI with an archive website that probably hasn't been uploaded since 2005ish.

- LordAtlas 7y agoTo me, it looks like some default Wordpress theme.

- at-fates-hands 7y agoAbout five to eight years ago, there was a huge push to get out of the "bootstrap" fever that everybody was using. A lot of places tried (unsuccessfully) to emulate sites like Reddit, Hacker News and other minimalist site designs, thinking they could design something similar. The sad thing is there's a lot of modern tech they're using under the hood; which a majority of people will never see or appreciate. It's like my buddy used to say, "I gave you the capabilities to design a beautiful Ferrari; and you gave me a Toyota Corolla instead."
- loco5niner 7y agoI actually kind of like it. Not beautiful, certainly, but more usable, and loads lightning fast. I'm not really a fan of the bloated re-designs we're seeing these days.
