This might, impressively, be the worst Webdesign I ever saw
- eitland 6y ago[x] Readable [x] Loaded fast [x] No moving parts [x] Don't mess with scroll [x] No autoplaying videos No, it definitely isn't the worst I've seen.
- generalk 6y agoI gotta put a big, giant X next to "Readable." I have HN at 170% zoom right now. I keep most of my font sizes around 14pt minimum. I have one useless eye and another that isn't so great even corrected with contact lenses. Give me more web design trends that emphasize fonts at a readable size AND color contrast with the background color. Dark gray Calibri Thin on a light gray background might impress some design nerds but I'll take large, margined, justified text well set from its background any day of the week.
- fatheart 6y agoDid you view it on a larger screen? I viewed it in mobile, I appreciate the design, but I do find it hard to read with only a few words fitting on a single line. I wonder if the poster you replied to also viewed it on mobile. Even when I hold my phone sideways, reading such short lines fatigues my eyes quickly.
- ogre_codes 6y agoWeb design was one of the better bits of this article. I don't agree with the content and I'm not a fan of full justification myself. But the simple, readable page is a sign of good taste... and makes the article easier to read.
- flyingfences 6y agoI miss the days when I could expect each website to look distinct and unique, for better or for worse.
- fabienpenso 6y agoBigger font, straight to the point and no fuss. Contrary to you, I love its (non) design.
- MrPatan 6y agoAre we looking at different sites? It's a column of text with a couple of headers... What made it so bad for you? Genuine question, I don't find it offensive, or noteworthy at all.
