Why do you believe anyone outside tech community would value a text only 90's vibe websites?

The ZFS site is more of a man page vibe to me, rather than retro/90s per se, as it's using some basic bold/underline and not just a pure ASCII doc. Maybe it's just designed for expedience, but I think it's a perfect fit for a service like this.

It implies they're trying to communicate with you rather than manipulate you.

  -_- really? Industrial, UX and UI designers are manipulators now? Is Jony Ive the head manipulator? There are more ways to communicate than a black and white wall of text. One of them is called language of design. That's why designers use visual language to communicate with their users.

    Sorry, I didn't mean to say that all design was manipulative. It's so often abused to hide manipulation though I'd rather just go without and I know I'm not alone.

    > UX and UI designers are manipulators now? of course not, but usually web pages creation is driven by marketing, so in most cases "sell" stuff has much more priority than actual UX/UI. So usually UX scarified for marketing needs (even UX and UI designers gains that).

    >Industrial, UX and UI designers are manipulators now Yes. When their hands are guided by PMs and marketing managers they are more often than not.

  Slam dunk response. This is exactly my problem with how so many developer tools and services are branded. Just give it to me plain, please.

I actually have seen some artists use this aesthetics, but on the top of my head I can only think of Vulfpeck's site [0] [0] https://vulfpeck.com/ https://vulfpeck.com/
