I loved the old days of demented candy colored / looking buttons on the web. I’m generally tired of the soulless, flat, muted web.

- dfex 2y agoThis! It's not even just the web - how did we go from the amazing creativity of say WinAmp skins, to the flat lifeless interfaces of Spotify and Music.app?
- simondanerd 2y agoThe forcing of accessibility standards is what I think of first. It isn't a bad that things are accessible, just that it cuts down on creativity that's able to be expressed in the final product.
- sunshine-o 2y agoI agree but I see two reasons for the soulless, muted UI: 1. 25 years ago, computers and the internet was something new you wanted to attract people to, shiny new toys. Today it is something people are gonna stare at 10 hours a day or more. I guess Windows XP was really tiring for the eyes after a while. 2. I believe the evolution we see in UI is exactly the same we saw in buildings and homes. I personally can't believe how depressing most modern houses are inside and outside.
