For me, when I see old screenshots like this, it makes me realize how festooned with garbage UIs used to be. Just sooo much unnecessary shit. Everywhere.
I also don't love the state we're in today, when useful things are hidden or just removed altogether. But man, I can appreciate how we got here.

- draw_down 6y agoJust because something could be used doesn't mean I need to be looking at it right this second. And it turns out that every single div doesn't need a border.
- perryizgr8 6y ago> festooned with garbage UI Huh?! Can you point out a single UI element in that screenshot that doesn't serve a useful purpose? Reader's UI was basically perfect. I believe that's what proved to be the end of it at Google. There was no more changes to be made to it. So Google had to shut it down, because they absolutely have to be doing new stuff.
