Reading through it, I was struck by the contrast of how broken the web page was with what the author was saying about UX. The author seems experienced in the field, but the site felt completely broken. I don’t know if it’s a device or browser issue, but reading on my iPad, if I tried to use my right thumb to scroll, the page acted as if I had reached the end of the article, even though it was clear there was more because the last visible line was only half-visible. (And this was after having to manually zoom in because all the text was shoved to one side and tiny.) Scrolling with my left thumb worked about 50% of the time. The rest of the time it worked as poorly as scrolling with my right thumb. I gave up after about 5 paragraphs.
- nsfmc 3y agothat site is not really suitable for mass consumption, iirc it used to even have a caveat that said it really only existed to make certain leaf nodes sharable. it's basically a personal zettelkasten, but this update was also sent to his patreons as well, where the writing just ended up being whatever your email client made of it.
- Version467 3y agoIf you visit his top level website, you can see that it uses a columnar layout. I agree that it compromises the experience if a single article is linked like this, especially on smaller screens, but it isn't broken, this is how it is intended. It just doesn't cater to all formfactors.
- vxNsr 3y agoDid we see the same website? The page I visited appeared to just be straight text. I’m on a iPhone with safari. It felt like a totally normal blog post by someone who doesn’t care for the current js heavy web.
