Wow, amongst the list of features "The 49MB Web Page" got this week was Harvard's Nieman Journalism Lab, Pluralistic, Daring Fireball, Techmeme, Sidebar and NextDraft.
As a product engineer, seeing this spark a global conversation about user-centric UI and network performance has been the highlight of my year.
If your team is looking for an engineer who cares deeply about clean DOMs, Core Web Vitals and user empathy, my DMs are open and contact details in bio 🙏
@pheonix I've only been following you for a few months now, but I've enjoyed your stuff! Really cool to see this pop off for you! Well deserved! Congrats!
Also, i want to add that i love the soft and pleasant design of the site!
If you're looking for a target next: Strava's webapp is miserable. I think a natural next step would be looking at services that use this shitty design to push subscriptions, but that are STILL BAD if you subscribe.
@Wavebeam Wow, thank you so much for your kind words, Dylan. I never thought it would gain the steam like it did, but clearly this is something a lot of folks relate to and I just words to it in my own flavor.
My email is teeming with suggestions on what to cover next and yours is a great idea, I'm adding it to my list.
I'm glad you liked the design, it has evolved a lot over the past few years, and like almost everyone, I keep making changes because there is no "one" perfect version 😄
