HN... Where all the techies use a janky website up talk about their non-janky web projects.
- tenebrisalietum 5y agoNo bullshit != janky. Janky is 50MB of Javascript that doesn't load all at once so things jump around ocnstantly at the start, only to display 1/3 of the text of an article before you insert 3 ads but I won't know that until I click past the cookie warning and the "Please subscribe" popup that happens when I scroll more than 100 pixels.
- encryptluks2 5y agoYou assume that when I say janky that I mean JavaScript. Sites can not have JavaScript and still be featureful when it comes to features and privacy. In this instance I was specifically talking about rate limiting responses and some of the censorship I see here.
- dcposch 5y agoExactly the opposite, actually. HN is an exceptionally clean, minimalist website. Instant page loads. No ads, no "accept cookie" banner, no autoplaying media, in fact no media of any kind, no engagement-maximizing algorithm. Quality moderation via dedicated human mods. Then everyone comes here to talk about their Svelte ESnext 69.0 x serverless kubernetes 3d metaverse animated gif NFT marketplace subscription-based growth hack horror they're about to inflict on the public.
- encryptluks2 5y agoYet you would never see me talking about JS being a positive when it comes to web design, but there is still a lot to be desired when it comes to HN.
- yellow_lead 5y agoThe ads are the sponsored YC job postings.
- rowanG077 5y agoHN is by far the least janky website I use.
