Good design does not necessarily correlate to fancy javascript animations and cascading whatevers. In my opinion, good design is supposed to facilitate the use of the tool, period. What additional design could be applied to http://news.ycombinator.com http://news.ycombinator.com that would make the user experience better while keeping in mind the objective of popularizing the highest voted stories and fostering the community through comments on stories?
- falling 14y agoI do not want animations. As you said, design is how something works. I want a readable font. I want modern HTML that adapts to different devices and screens. I want links that don’t expire after I left the page open for half an hour and then fail with stupid errors. I want a website that doesn’t randomly stalls for ten seconds. This is basically just what all these clients do. All these 3rd party clients are brittle hacks that scrape the HTML because there is no API or RSS feed. This is bad design, not the lack of animations.
