I love GitS, but is this post just blog spam?

I'd say not, since they also have reviews of UI that the site is exhibiting, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The curator of the site is Fey Vercuiel, who apparently has done UI/UX on some AAA games, so it's not exactly nobody, and besides, I think the main site stands on its own fairly well. They have a whole section for GitS: https://ilikeinterfaces.com/tag/ghost-in-the-shell/ https://ilikeinterfaces.com/tag/ghost-in-the-shell/ There are also a lot of categories you can explore. I think for this kind of site, having clear examples of something you already have in mind as inspiration can help in ideation as a jumping off point, and having a site to share that context with others to collaborate is useful to me, and perhaps to you? The naviagation is kind of broken, so you have to click on the menu headings as links instead of expanding them, since the contents flow behind the content in the foreground for some reason. I posted it because I was reminded of this fictional map UI when I saw this actually existing map UI on these AR glasses I saw today: > I've waited 10 years for Glasses like this – Even Realities G1 [video] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42285596 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42285596 If you like GitS related content, you may also like these: > Architecture from Ghost in the Shell in Hong Kong https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42286193 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42286193 > Teruhisa Tajima, logo designer: story behind designing Ghost in the Shell's logo https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42286243 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42286243

If this is blog spam, everything is. The disappointment sinks in when you realize that they are people who are waiting for things rather than trying to create functional equivalents.

What is 'blog spam'? Someone can write a blog post and post it here if they deem it relevant. The community then decides through voting whether or not it is worth our attention no? This isn't Reddit where everyone is allergic to self-promotion.
