we finally got rid of flash

not dead yet

/f/ for the win

But even there we just post old swfs to have a nice group nostalgia masturbation session. Flash was the best thing to ever happen to the internet.

people are making counterintuitive designs for web pages, instead of keeping it simple. Beautiful websites can be made from nothing and they can be made very light. But then again, if it does not flex on others and shows how many gigabytes of javascript you have written, it is useless from the perspective of the site owner. I like websites that look friendly and despise those that are designed to make you feel small. I am talking about Facebook, Instagram et al. I am browsing on a 21 inch full HD monitor and all you give me is 3 huge bloated buttons that don't do much and every website function works in exactly the opposite way you expect it to, and the page itself has little content and very little information density.

Contrast this to websites like saidit, forums and imageboards. The design is simple and functional, the buttons and links are small and scattered but somehow you always find exactly what you were looking for and works in a way you expect. the actual content is plenty and you can skim through information worth a hundred Facebook pages in just 2 or 3 pages. This helps because half the content is bullshit which you don't care about anyway.
