The contrast between this Nielsen-Norman (NN) page and the OP page is marked. The NN page is much easier to absorb the information. More succinct, way better page layout.
Both articles have information/direction worth heeding, but there is irony in the fact that the OP page adopts same-text size and paragraphing conventions of yesteryear that the NN page does away with.
It's also frustrating that Hacker News doesn't pay attention to some of the information. In creating an edit to an existing post, the feedback after clicking on the 'update' button is not as clear as it should be. (It's a screen redraw, I guess).
- btbuildem 3y agoAre we looking at the same thing? The NN pages are cluttered with navigation to other areas, links for "more this and that", related courses, etc. Everything is in six different font sizes, there are variously-coloured illustrations that pull at strenuous off-topic metaphors... it's a mess. In contrast, the OP page is clear, simple, sticks to the topic at hand. Easy to read typography, eight paragraphs for the eight rules.
