Compared to the over-crufted, over engineered, designed-for-phone, low-information-density, cr4p I get served on many "western" websites, where I am happily invited to download a gazilion MiB of adware and feel my phones battery running hot just to access a website, I prefer the asian design philosophy.
- suction 5y agoWhere exactly do you see "Asian design philosophy" on Japanese major websites? Also, what exactly do you think of as "Asian design philosophy" in the first place?
- Tor3 5y agoI'm reading a few Japanese newspapers online these days (their English sections, mostly), and it's so much easier to read than nearly all of the online newspapers in my own country. No narrow fixed-size space in the middle of the page (is this meant to be read only on phones, portrait mode, by youngsters able to read with their nose pressed into the screen?). Proper pages, no endless scrolling. Flows nicely to fill out my browser window. No clutter. Easy to read, and easy to come back to and re-read something. In Europe a lot of the online news web pages makes me feel I'm reading a low-quality low-cost dirty mag from the seventies sold from under the counter, as far as design is concerned.
