Best comment ever on DN

While I love the experimentation, I honestly think some of these layouts are much harder to read then conventional layouts. The demo isn't too bad, but being different just for the sake of being different isn't always a better solution.

Looks pretty solid to me. Not seeing any major issues with the type.

I'm a teacher over at Bloc.io for design. I have an apprentice that's doing some amazing work and wanted to see if this community could help provide any last minute feedback on his concept project. I think he's done an amazing job, but it always helps to get some outside perspective on things.

I think this looks clean, but I prefer a page to just load instantly. On first use, the transitions are nice, but if this is a site where you're going to click through a lot of pages, it gets a little cumbersome.

I've been using Middleman for a long time and it's been awesome. It helps that it felt a lot like a Rails app, but it's much easier to get started with.

One generator I've been eyeing is Gatsby. It seems promising, but I'm not quite sure if I'll see any real speed increase over just a simple site using Middleman and then something like turbolinks.

At least it's more usable than the last one. I was never a fan of the horizontal scrolling they had before.

This is a bit surface level, but I always notice the typography first. Even on a website, if someone doesn't have a strong grasp on type, it's usually a sign of shaky fundamentals. So line lengths that are way too long, pairing of type that doesn't really work, no clear hierarchy. All of those things take seconds to make an impression on someone.

Pretty sad moment. I wonder if the people who own this site and Dribbble might consider snatching it up.

It's super simple. But the way he turned the titles of the projects into a single line of what he did for them is an amazing touch.
