False dichotomy. "Documents" are allowed to have design. They should not have bad design (bad in this case referring to legibility).
Is HN a web application, an art project, or a document? IMO it's a mix of all of the above.
- meiraleal 3y agoit's definitely not an art project without a generous stretch.
- cantSpellSober 3y agoIs there no art to successfully accelerating startups?
- meiraleal 3y agoThat's quite generous. Accelerating startups is a business, a greedy one at that, many times involving manipulations, lies, scams. No, this isn't an art.
- cantSpellSober 3y ago...and yet here you are :) It's a stretch, I'll concede. It involves creative or imaginative talent expressive of technical proficiency, or conceptual ideas however. At the very least, setting the default header color to orange is an artistic decision. I mostly include it for the sake of argument, the lines blur between the categories. Being a "document" is not a reason to avoid adding CSS. Re: art, a counter to my argument would be Lubalin's, that we must sometimes reduce legibility to increase impact.
