What about this website indicates low quality engineering?
- bogwog 2y agoHN is mostly web developers I think, so they tend to look at everything through one particular lens
- jillesvangurp 2y agoI asked chat gpt to criticize a screenshot of this website. I wont paste the full response here, people can do this themselves. But very briefly, it had a lot to say about inconsistent spacing, typography, use of colors, images, etc. In short, this is not a great website, to put it mildly. I'm not even close to being a good designer but I've seen good designers make a difference. And nobody that I would qualify as such was involved with this website. Tiny serif fonts, yellow on white CTA, etc. It all makes a bit of an amateurish impression. And that suggests the rest of the thing also might need a bit of work. I glanced through both the article and the website and it seems all a bit waffly and aspirational at this point and raises more questions than it answers. A lot of good intentions, preaching the virtues of OSS, etc. But not a lot of actionable information for someone that might want to take the logical next step of getting this on their phone. The CTA just leads to a "free your phone" section without links or useful information. It suggest twelve organizations are involved (who?) and lists some shared values. That's it. Not very encouraging.
