Does anyone else find it pretty obnoxious that this site changes the window title back and forth between "Jira is a microcosm of what’s broken in software development" and "(1) New Message!"?
Is this a bug? Who thought this was a good idea?
- ErikAugust 6y agoThat website is "a microcosm of what's broken" with websites. Here is that content without that: https://beta.trimread.com/articles/32605 https://beta.trimread.com/articles/32605
- SilasX 6y agoLol yes! The fixed floating header, the pop-up modal after a few seconds, the long load time for text/image content...
- riskymagemerge 6y agoI know. The bot sucks!!! Sorry... it's my fault. My boss, Dan the author, just yelled at me and I turned it off :-)
- chrisfosterelli 6y agoThis website is packed with reader hostility. A chat bot to recommend articles to me? Really?
- t0mbstone 6y agoIt's their little messaging thingy in the bottom right. You have to click the x to close the notification. It's seriously obnoxious! Also, as a side note, the whole article is written by a JIRA competitor. Totally not biased at all!
- natchy 6y agoThey're using Drift, the little chat widget in the bottom. I've had to build out tracking on marketing sites and we had to add a redundant, canonical page title to every page since 3rd party tools like drift change the <title> tag in the HTML to say New Message!!!!! They do it so if you migrate to a new tab it tries to annoy you into going back.
