How many here, when they go to reddit, use their new design ? IIRC slashdot tied one too but reverted. And need we mention dejanews --> google groups.
If it works, stick with it.
Does it work for end users? As long as too many don't leave or are replaced by new users who didn't know any better, who cares?
If it encourages people to download an app instead of using a broken web UI, allowing for better data collection and monetization, then it "works" just fine.
Their shitty JS code slows to a crawl on my fucking AMD 5900X.
do designers not do this or have this culture? "lets redo the design of everything", how does that not get shot down?
How many people are still wanting their iOS 6 or old YouTube designs back? It’s a bit of a shock when it happens but eventually you just get used to it and realise the old one actually did look worse.
Reddit is an exception. It looks fine, but it runs like shit.
Me too.
But I'd also enjoy laughing at a comically bad "Show HN: I redesigned HN".
