- madiator 13y agoOh, I was actually thinking I was reading a post on Medium.
- jrockway 13y agoI don't know what Medium is, but ... a white page with a title on the top? This is just as much a 'theft' of the default Apache "It works!" page.
- ricardobeat 13y agoDesign is about choices. In this case you can point out: 1. top-left square logo, dark gray, slab serif, fixed on scroll 3. bold, large sans-serif title in "off-black" 4. large serif body text with extended line-height 5. 100% width image on top Despite the visual simplicity, there are a lot of variables in effect. It's definitely "inspired" by Medium. (medium has a few different post layouts, but they share the same spirit: https://medium.com/lift-and-drag/5f803f1482e3 https://medium.com/lift-and-drag/5f803f1482e3 vs https://medium.com/lift-and-drag/51691e99279f https://medium.com/lift-and-drag/51691e99279f)
- saraid216 13y agoI think that the lack of author information in the top left is sufficiently different to not even call it gray area. And the lack of paragraph-level comments. The logo and typography seem very similar, even to my untrained eye, though.
