This design looks so cheap to me, it's just a bunch of random covers, there is no information about the movies presented in any way, the covers are way too big and take up an inordinate amount of space and there is nothing breaking up sections, design is just so fucking dumb now, fuck mobile

rant over ๐Ÿ˜…

Even if this is to drive engagement by clicking on items to gauge interest and collect metrics, I still don't see how that's more important than simply counting views and making an interface that's simple and pleasurable to use. I guess maybe the lack of proper market competition would allow this? This would be enough for me to leave the platform. (I'm running Jellyfin anyway.)

Well I'm certainly not paying for it haha. Yeah I agree, It's just too bad that once again all the color and joy has to be taken out of something and replaced with boring corporate bullshit. Like web design in the 90s was fun and experimental and there are all different kinds of sites and everyone had different ideas and they were all valid, it was a blast, but I guess that's kind of how things go once you're given unlimited options. Working with just the constraints of HTML was challenging and then CSS came along and made things easier but then they just kept adding more shit to it and now it's a bloat fest full of features that no designer will ever use to their potential because they don't do creative design anymore, then they added all those JS frameworks and blah

To be fair, the frameworks allow you to accomplish stuff instead of just coding. The frameworks were inevitable. Doing anything at all that wouldn't be spaghetti in pure JavaScript would have resulted in in-house frameworks anyway, otherwise every single project would have become completely unmanageable. Even with native custom web components, there's just so much overhead in creating them and maintaining them. As well as performance impacts. So frameworks where always an inevitable evolution of the web, as it became, IMO as a web dev of almost two decades.

But we need native stuff. Standardized better ways of dealing with components that are less clunky than they have been for years now.

Aaanyway ๐Ÿ˜…, yeah, these things come and go in waves. Minimal design, flashy shit, minimal, flashy. Hopefully they'll realize it's a shit interface to use in the long-run, assuming they even use their own service. (Bet you the employees don't even get their service for free.)

Meh, what they did was just eventually phase out front end designers, now you just have these all in one guys doing everything and you can tell because it all looks like SHIT

I... would have to disagree with this. ๐Ÿ˜… If you've ever tried to make a whole ass app with only vanilla custom web components, you wouldn't say all they did was have to do with design. They bring a lot of DX above the vanilla web platform.

Some frameworks bring more work ๐Ÿ˜† But most of them do a lot of grunt work with the components themselves, which helps a lot.

But they might have had an unintended side effect of what you describe, as well. ๐Ÿ‘

I've been working with the web since the mid 90s I think I know what I'm talking about, but everyone has their own experience and perception. I love when people try to correct people when they have no idea who they are talking to, like you automatically know better? I think we're talking about different things anyways, you are talking about programming and I am talking about the loss of all artistic merit from web design

[โ€“] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Whoa, holy hell, bro? Why did you get so hostile? Defensive as fuck.

I said it was not only what you said, but more than what you said. I included your shit after my own take and perspective. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Don't bring your insecurities into the mix and call it my fault, dude.

Yes, we were talking about separate aspects of the same thing, exactly. And I seem to know more about one side and you more about another one. Exactly what was going on, and then you snapped for no reason. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Thanks for the back and forth but you lost me on this one. Bye. ๐Ÿ™‹โ€โ™‚๏ธ

Yes I am defensive about it, ok bye.
