I hate “modern” or as I call it ugly web design.

Everything making functions and structure clearer is good. Today’s standards are a bag of pain and I never understood how such crappy sites als Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Stackoverflow, add lots of other “cool” sites are liked by so many. For me they are the epitome of what is wrong with todays web.

We’re all doing that every day on the internet, scrolling down to find and click on the next or # button for the purpose to again being able to scroll down to click on the same button over and over again. Discourse took that unnecessary click from you and provides a nice side scroller to quickly jump to a specific reply you want.

I can’t stand scrolling. Pages and pageturning are much nicer to my eyes and mind. I always lose track in these endless scrolling nightmares.

Se above - I hate both. At least swift.org <http://swift.org/> has a font in readable size.

For me even the old geocities chaos was nicer then todays minimalistic crap. But I may possible thats my age, I hate modern music and movies, too.

And I’m just frustrated at this downward spiral in useful and nice design. It’s like the iOS Music app  - gone from a nice and very useful app (till iOS6) to todays absolutely useless crap that tries to forcefeed Apple Music onto me but doesn’t help in efficient handling of my own music library. Luckily I could switch to Caesium to fix that.
