I really like the Facebook redesign. Looks great and is just as usable as the previous version (which isn't really a high bar, but can't say there was regression).
Reddit isn't that bad too, though it definitely deserves better.
Quora though… Quora and Pinterest, if they disappeared overnight, I would not miss them. Annoying UX, scummy practices, garbage content.
- rikroots 6y agoI'm mourning the loss of the old Facebook UI - it will probably take me a few more weeks to adjust. My first impression of it was: "Why have they turned the desktop version into the mobile version"? Newsfeed posts now in too-big-fontsize (but it's probably good for accessibility). Shortcuts on the left disappear when reading a group's stream. Etc etc moan-and-whinge-etc. At first I thought they redesigned the site specifically to make me unhappy (because everything is about me). But a few days later "rooms" turned up ... so I assume the redesign was done - in part - to help accommodate this new Zoom-like functionality? There's usually a good reason to change a site's look-and-feel. Have Facebook developers done any blog posts on the reasons why they redesigned, what choices they made, what new tech the redesign enables etc? Maybe learning about their journey will help me come to accept the new design more quickly.
- friendlybus 6y agoThey're keeping up with the trends. Big is the new hotness. The focus has changed to using workflows rather than organizing lots of small details. It's the same stuff happening across the art world. dribbble is a good place to see it coming down the pipes.
