But now I realize these things should also be collected to a list somewhere. I linked your project in mine for starters. Thanks for sharing! Cheers!
Like an awesome list? What should it be called? awesome-oldschool maybe?
tl;dr ...websites with a lots of character which break best practice guidelines and design rules are able to capture audience better and produce better results (turnover, traffic, user retention, etc.)
So I ended up finding a neutral sounding word: QUIRKY - having or characterized by peculiar or unexpected traits or aspects.
I would gladly reformat quirky-ux to be primarely this collestion/list of quirky stuff, but maybe awesome-quirky makes more sense or awesome-quirky-ui or something similar...
Please contribute! If you really prefer the name awesome-quirksmode I have no problem with renaming the repo or adding you as a contributor so you can do it. Thanks for the feedback!
