Figures this comes from the National Design Studio (https://ndstudio.gov/ https://ndstudio.gov/) which ironically also ignores the government's own advice on web standards and correct use of identifying headers.
One can assume the US Tech Force will perceive itself as also unfettered by those silly rules and good practices.
- torginus 10mo agoDo those standards mandate a correctly rendered US flag?
- mxfh 10mo agoNew memo is one star, but compensate with 5 squares for what could be a simple rectangle. That logo's SVG is weird.
- torginus 10mo agoI didn't mean the logo (honestly didn't even notice). I was talking about the robot guy's t-shirt - it does have 13 stripes, but the number and layout of stars look rather play-it-by-ear.
- amarcheschi 10mo agoClick on America by design initiative "What's the biggest brand in the world? If you said Trump, you're not wrong. But what's the foundation of that brand? One that's more globally recognized than practically anything else. ... This is President Trump going bigger than President Nixon" Jesus christ, man
- kstrauser 10mo agoI about spit my coffee when I saw that. Good grief. > We've been conditioned to accept that mediocre in government is normal. Yes, I do now accept that mediocre [sic] in government is normal for the next few years.
- kulahan 10mo agoAre you under the impression this is somehow different from the last few years?
- exceptione 10mo agoAre you American? Do you think this is normal? Just curious (non American).
- kulahan 10mo agoThere is a somewhat stubborn idea that a government will always have many inefficiencies baked in, since there’s no real incentive to remove them beyond a generic “that would be nice”.
- kstrauser 10mo agoOf course. Whatever problems the US government had before, mass firings, loyalty tests, furloughs, and endless other shenanigans have only exacerbated them.
- jimbokun 10mo agoMediocre is probably the ceiling.
- nebula8804 10mo agoAn entire generation has grown up post Nixon and hasn't known government that worked so yes...could you blame them? Furthermore only ~50% of the country has a passport so many haven't even seen how things run elsewhere.

- ChrisArchitect 10mo agoWhy is all of ND Studio's work so severely AI/'tech/crypto bro'/SF-billboard-vibe coded?
- Barrin92 10mo agoThat's what an oligarchy looks like, 'careers' consist of trying to glaze whatever moneyed person in power you can in hopes of getting a contract
- phantasmish 10mo agoI’d bet this whole initiative exists only as an interface to issue fat “AI” contracts to pals.

- H1Supreme 10mo agoI know it's par for the course these days, but that's a lot of Js and CSS for a single page app with some text, a few images, and a list of collapsible info sections (whose animations aren't very smooth).
- cvoss 10mo agoMy actual first thought was "Is this a hoax?" precisely because the website did not identify itself as a US government website in the usual way for executive branch sites.
