Never heard of partiful, enjoyed looking at the design of their website. What really stuck out to me is that for the most part the design isn’t actually that noisy (some colors and informality fits well given the product), but as you scroll down there’s always one element on the screen that’s “abnormal”: a marquee ish thing, some word art looking title, etc. I think, as a millennial, when I was growing up these elements were often design smells: only a boomer will use word art unironically, etc. our clean minimalism became the suffocating corporate vibe of the 2010s (via tech giant software). Now, word art in the right context can be playful and imaginative without the boomer vibe. Hip startups are disrupting the suffocating millennial minimalism. Brilliant.
