I hate the blue. I think the UI is facebook 2.0 completely, and while I think they are well done - I think they look like a cold corporate site profile and is one of the things that I have always hated about facebook - the UI is really not that good. Sure its functional - but you cant argue that its something revolutionary.
- michaelchisari 16y agoI hate the blue. Luckily, Appleseed is very flexible, so it's not only possible to change the colors, but to radically rearrange the layout while maintaining the functionality. I expect many sites running Appleseed will hire designers to "brand" their site in a way that appeals to their users. but you cant argue that its something revolutionary. I wouldn't, actually. I think social software works best when it's pragmatic and conservative. The revolution is under the hood with distributed social networking.
- phlux 16y agoBTW - I dont mean to take away from Appleseed or what you're doing - but I just have a gut reaction against all things facebook. I have never had an account and never will and I have a very dystopian view of what that service really is. See my post here on the subject: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2429993 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2429993 I believe in social networks, their value and need - but the current execution in the area is clearly leading us down a dark digital path. I recall when appleseed was first announced, Ill need to look at it again...
