Honestly a static page that's literally just text, a few hyperlinks, and a few lines to prettify is like, peak design. No bullshit. A 9 year old could design the site and that's a complement.
You can run this site on a mobile phone from 2002 and it would run perfectly.
I can use my TUI based browser to use the site and have the same experience as every other user.
They've achieved a lightweight, ultra-compatible, informative site with just enough eye candy (those lines) to make the site feel at least as engaging as a newspaper.
This is brilliant, 10/10 would hire that web dev.
Edit: Single line -> lines, idk what happened my eyes shit the bed or something
It even has an ad!
It can even be hosted for free in AWS with nothing but a publicly accessible S3 bucket.
How it looks on my phone. That ad sure does eat up some space.

For a sec I thought I had dimentia since all the links were purple
I guess the design is the original from 1978.
I was surprised to see Shein take off the way it did. The first and only time I ever visited that site, I thought, “For sure this has to be a scam.” The layout and design set off alarm bells in my head, like sites from earlier internet days that were guaranteed to give your computer a virus.
It was wild to find out that so many people legit shop there. But I guess I’m showing my age.
Amazing that this is the first thing I see after searching it
It looks like AliExpress' home page
I miss the old aliexpress, where the search wasn't a mangled mess of whoever's paying for top position and filters existed and worked (somewhat)
I remember when a payload of 10kb was too much and a one second loading time was unacceptable.
Saas seems to have increased that to 30mb and 10 seconds. Amazing progress.
The only problem with that site is it burns my retinas trying to read it lol
Screen is too bright if that happens, the easy way to set screen brightness is so a white background matches the brightness of a piece of white paper in the same area.
A piece of white paper in most places also burns my retinas. Light sensitivity is a bitch.
Fair enough, I also don't like bright areas much.
You're not squinting hard enough
spooky magic hands MAGIC COLOR SWAP more spooky hands
This is so true, whenever a see something that's obviously never been touched by the design department and is mostly just text I feel safe, secure and trust it by default.
Anything with flashy graphics is doubt before they prove themselves trustworthy.
There's an xkcd about this, but I have no idea how to search for it.

I have never been lied to by data in a .txt file which has been hand-aligned
Where would .md fit in that graph I wonder...
Somewhere between .txt and .doc
Aligning figures the way you want to in Latex saps all the energy that would otherwise be dedicated to lying.
There must be an xkcd for this too
Is there not an XKCD for there being an XKCD about everything?
There is not an xkcd for there not being an xkcd about this.
the xkcd app has a pretty good search function. got any keywords we can try?
Sounds like someone's descent into conspiracy wackjobbery
nah, that all lives in short form video these days.
it's the perfect format for it. just long enough to say something crazy, not long enough for you to ask questions about it.
that and social media. take this website for example. lemmy.ml and lemmygrad both have some veeeeery investing ideas about the history of certain authoritarian governments.
