@danluu on web bloat: https://danluu.com/slow-device/
@danluu important info, but the article is incredibly difficult to read. A huge wall of type. Legibility is also an accessibility issue.
@chrisaraymond @danluu To be able to read the article I had to resize my window to make it narrow. It would have been trivial to add just a bit of CSS to produce a legible layout for both desktop and mobile, but there's a kind of aggressive purist that wants to write web pages like it's 1995 and thinks attractive (or even usable) layout smacks of corporate marketing.
@not2b Exactly! I transitioned into design from journalism, so my bias has always been communication first. I taught myself CSS and responsive design, and the basics of good web typography. Sadly, too many degreed designers just don't seem to care or to want to learn how to design for digital, even in 2024.
