You know, the weirdest part of X’s story to me is not really Elon Musk buying it or how it just became the most garbage website on the Internet in terms of content.

It’s how current management has just tacked on features without matching the interface and visual language that previous designers at Ye Olde Twitter established. Icons don’t match. Sizes of elements don’t match. Placement of things don’t match. There’s no cohesion at all. It’s not just lack of care. It’s lack of understanding.

And it doesn’t bother me, because I just do not use this site anymore. But if I end up there via someone linking something, I look in the periphery of the post I was sent, and just end up shaking my head. No one there now knows how or why things were the way they were before, so there’s neither introspection leading to a redesign or followthrough on existing design paradigms. It’s just UI hodgepodge.

@louie It’s interesting since Nazi Germany took a lot of care with their style, had a detailed style manual, etc…

@nikolovski I don’t know who this observation is interesting for.
