Oh c'mon, be reasonable!

HN needs an infinite scroll and AI-curated newsfeed so developers here can eat their own type of dogfood.

rexreed wrote at 2021-12-05 19:34:15:

I would think of all the sites that people here could relate to, and would have an instant response as to whether or not the new design would be better, would be this actual site. It's hard to judge a site you're otherwise not using on a regular basis and have had as long a relationship with. I would love to see an HN redesign.

LordAtlas wrote at 2021-12-05 19:41:45:

Sorry, I was being tongue-in-cheek if that wasn't obvious. This site needs to be dragged about two decades into 2021 and I was taking a dig at the effort needed. ;)

JCWasmx86 wrote at 2021-12-05 19:46:23:

Well it is fine like this. I wish the entire web would be similar to HN in terms of information density and resource usage.

This is how we can know how good of a designer he really is.

It's a postal address!

This would be a fun one because there’s basically no information hierarchy right now. Lot of work to do.

JCWasmx86 wrote at 2021-12-05 19:26:42:

This site looks like one I would "design": Just HTML with a bit of CSS (Standard-Stylesheet should be good enough /s)

j_crick wrote at 2021-12-05 23:11:52:

You should not: if anything, that would be a showcase of your proficiency in design memes, or if put another way, general incompetence.

To redesign something, I feel like you need to dive deep into what the project wants to achieve, and why it doesn’t happen (if it ever really does not). For that, you will need owners’ input and a lot of research, which you doubtfully can get in three hours.

Ever heard about hammock-driven development? Stop the rush, have a listen:

microsoft.com (frontpage is enough)

oreopithecus wrote at 2021-12-05 18:50:36:

Started working on "microsoft.com". Time elapsed: 5 minutes.

i'm really curious

oreopithecus wrote at 2021-12-05 20:02:55:

Done. 1 hour and 6 minutes, 253 lines of code (mainly inline CSS).

It's a dumbed down, extremely simple version of the front page of microsoft.com, with the first section showing news-like snippets of the content of the 4 main links: Microsoft 365 (which includes Office), Windows, Xbox and Surface. The rest are the other less relevant Microsoft-related links from the "All Microsoft" section. They took me some time to type in).

The rest of the functionality (Account and shopping, support-related) aren't included. Other event-related content isn't included.

It looks like it is made by someone who just picked up HTML/CSS and has zero knowledge of design. Hope you are trolling.

rak1507 wrote at 2021-12-05 20:29:03:

This... doesn't look very good. What is that colour scheme? Orange and green?!

Edit: I feel like I should say - if you are new to things, please don't feel discouraged by criticism. Everyone starts somewhere.

lelandfe wrote at 2021-12-05 21:55:20:

Removing the navigation and sign in was a bold choice.

I built the frontend for this website I made with my friends during a hackathon this year

https://squadify.ml/

. It's for building a Spotify playlist of common songs between a group of people. It's about 4 different pages total.

= product page for math textbooks (currently single page for both books, but OK to split into listing page + product detail pages if that makes more sense)

I like your design. Just color-correct some of the drab yellowish photos.

Surprised nobody has made a deep learning solution for this. There's plenty of data to train on.

That actually seems like an excellent design?

vcryan wrote at 2021-12-05 19:26:21:

The design isn't bad, it just has a very "we paid $20 for a great WordPress template and changed a few things" vibe to it. Maybe this is something only developer notices, but when I see this, I always wonder how credible the company is.
