In the case of this article, the calling out also seems to be without merit.

From the about page: ” When I’m not writing code, I write prose, short and long, ranging from personal anecdotes in tech to philosophical musings on how technology shapes culture, society, and the individual self.”

This names something valuable and frames it in an original way. It expressed caring for younger generations and encourages effort to meet the young with presence. It gives practical advice on how to practice attention. In present time this is enormously valuable.

I see it being flagged in realtime, please wake up HN.

Does this use frames or iframe? https://kagi.com/smallweb

I would expect a raw link in the top bar to the page shown, to be able to bookmark it etc.

Fb purity browser addon helps, though its ui is quite cryptic.

These are all products the ux direction of which is likely influenced more by corporate power dynamics. Sure, uxers are involved, the real power they have is a different question.

Everyone’s got their preferences, quality of ux is by definition subjective. That is what makes these discussions hard. Naming any examples will always have ”nah i don’t like that product” as counterpoint.

An equally weird trope us UX practitioners dumbing down UIs. It simply depends on who we are designing for.

As soon as developers actively hang out with real users in real life and genuinely observe them without intervening, i’m all for oss projects without uxers.

Disclaimer: did my master’s thesis on OSS UX.

Thanks for the pleasant experience of providing a feedback loop for my suggestion, felt rewarding and the implementation works nicely.
