- ianai 4y agoAnd as far as we know no tracking/propping up anything for attention regardless of ramifications.
- 29athrowaway 4y agoI meant in terms of how the frontend is constructed.
- Oxidation 4y agoOr McMaster Carr. RS, with it's laggy backend (I assume, as their recent UI shinification didn't change it: it was bad before) could learn a lot from them. Then again, McMaster Carr want you to use an app on mobile and the new RS site works on mobile quite well, with the lag more hidden by the inefficiencies of mobile browsing in general.
- rjbwork 4y agoMcMaster Carr is one of the greatest websites there is. It's incredibly easy to find just about any kind of hardware.
- Oxidation 4y agoOne of the greatest features: when you download a 3D model file, you get the file, not a zip file containing the (single) file.

- hnick 4y agowhirlpool.net.au is so fast here in AU sometimes I refresh and I'm not sure it did anything.
- schipplock 4y agoThis website also looks very good (subjective of course).
- hnick 4y agoI personally find it very easy to parse visually, font size is ideal, no inline images or post voting or overbearing profile/social BS on the forums, it's peak late 90s design and (without sounding too elitist) probably helps attract the crowd they want due to that.
