World Leaders in Research (!)-Based User Experience
---
And they checked a Herman Miller site. How often do you go to HM? When you want to buy a 6000 dollar chair. That's maybe once in a lifetime.
On desktop, nobody cares about mobile first trendy large image sites, because you can scroll, you have a mouse, you have a full keyboard. You can use CTRL-F. You can navigate away from the bullshit, QUICK. Your handicap is ZERO.
The real problem is really about mobile sites viewed on mobile.
You search for something and arrive butt naked on sites. What you get? Full screen cookie consent pages. Then a subscribe to the newsletter full screen modal. Okay, now you get the content, but not really, because half size ads, ads on top, ads on bottom kill your eery-xperience.
The experience is crazy because you have a restricted way to interact with the site. A shitty onscreen keyboard, you have to scroll a lot with your fingers. Save the mobile experience first.
On desktop the problem is with large sites, with lots of traffic, with lots of users. "Finely" tuned by the sancrosanct A/B tests.
Facebook/Instagram desktop experience is borderline crazy. Facebook's comment experience is just plain shit. Koko the tacticle sign-speaking gorilla would've made a better job on that.
On Instagram, if you view it from desktop, then you are viewed as a peasant. How dare you to visit the site from the desktop? Are you retarded? Clicking on a post? Go register now, peasant!
Wait a sec, you tried to register through desktop? Now go hang yourself, rural monkey! No, you can't set yourself to be 18+ to view the boobs, you need a mobile for that. Told ya, go hang yourself desktop peasant.
Oh, the creators of React, the bloated bullshit frontend experience framework created by colour haired individuals that every brainwashed idiot loves like a plush polar bear.
Time to push back and send the naive + trendy developers to the soon to be established Mars base.
- motoxpro 3y agoNot sure if I understand you correctly, but the article talked about the friction created by scrolling and "Ctrl+F"ing. Cookie consent, 18+ (I assume you're talking about Reddit), etc are all laws, which I think you would have more luck contacting government officials than a front end dev. The best part of programming is no one knows, or cares, what tech you used as long as it works, so if you want to make a website out of html, PHP and no JS you're free to do that. If you want to work with people, you might have to make compromises because people have different opinions, but websites like IG could be built in a weekend by one person anyway, right? /s
