Personally really liked your maximalist design form 2011: it was original, it looked fun.
The posts rationalization of getting out of the way of the
content makes sense and if there is the primary motivation it is perfectly rational.
But as a human user: I would like to explore the web again.
- manudaro 6mo agoThank you. Te 2011 version wasgenuinely fun to build. Chat by city, airport databases, a people search engine, things that made no business sense but felt right. We're trying to keep some of that. You can browse countries, compare them, explore cities, look up universities. It's not just an API docs page. But I hear you. :)
- random__duck 6mo agoIf you don't mind, I would like to link to your article and site in a small blog post I am writing on the subject of deliberately ugly webdesign (you are not the ugly website ).
- manudaro 6mo agoOf course, go ahead! Would love to read it when it's published, feel free to share the link here or drop me an email (manuel.longo@bamwor.com) And hey, in my experience the best blogs I've ever read were the "ugly" ones, turns out what make a blog beautiful is usually the writing, not the CSS. Looking forward to it.
- random__duck 6mo agoThanks ^^
