- ivape 1y agoThey ran tons of a/b testing on user groups. I can tell you it feels fresh to me which is very necessary with aesthetics (fashion). Their main operating principle I believe is that they have acclimatized users to the position and flow of the UI for over a decade. At that point, you can embellish the UI. If I skinned HN to anything you would still be totally intimate with where things are so long as I didn’t put yellow on light blue or something wild like that.
- ashwinsundar 1y agoA/B testing doesn’t work if the actual answer is C I don’t want my computer (which I use for work) to be a fashion statement. I stare at the UI all day, every day. My opinion matters just as much as any designer’s.
- ivape 1y agoIt doesn’t. If yours or my opinion mattered, we’d be staring at garbage all day.
