I opened this website on a laptop and it was a very satisfying read.
I immediately noticed that the page uses full width of the screen; that there are no distractions in the form of ads, newsletter popups, unintuitive scrolling, or the like; and that the increase in information density was without compromising readability. Embedding social media content as screenshots is a nice touch too.
An efficient way to prove your point.
> our collective web experience frustrates more than it excites. It is a whiplash feed of ephemeral 'content' interspersed with ads and walled within 3 or 4 platforms with web-accessible front-ends (social media, newsletters, Discord channels). They'd all love for you to switch to the mobile app, though.
- rchaud 2y agoThank you, I intentionally went for this full-width format as I too don't like reading long articles in a skinny single column template that Medium and Substack default to. As this is a personal website that isn't selling anything, I have no need for email sign up popups and the like.
