Ask HN: Do you like the hyper-minimalist blogs posted on this site?
I see a lot of blogs with the same brutalist aesthetics. I liked it at first but now it seems everyone is implementing similiar themes on their sites.
Now, I feel they could use some colors. They seem pretty boring.
It’s better than being slammed with images ads popovers and cookie warnings
I get your point. But, there is a lot of middle ground. Example: This site https://kinduff.com has a good colorscheme while being minimal.
I like websites that load fast, have no popups or misdirections
I'm fine with it. I'm not fine with a surprising number of blogs being left-aligned and capped to a width of like 4 pixels on a 27" monitor.
Yes I do, and I think it would be good for the web if more websites were designed according to a more minimalist approach:
There are a lot of minimal websites with great content still up.
I use above link while I have free time to find cool websites:)
I find it humorous that the first website this link took me to was this: http://www.softpaw.org/fae2.html
The design is, uh, certainly not minimal.
Haha yeah You can never know what you get.
Wacky Windows Error Messages for me: http://toastytech.com/evil/errwindows.html
"Internet Explorer has exploded in your living room." -- That assiduous Windows hatred of the 1990s, I find it funny in an oddball way in 2022, but does it actually make any sense at all to current 20-somethings?
I'll take boring. Than to land on a blog, where I need to search for the content.
Minimalist is much better on a mobile device.
For a blog I think it works great.
Having said that I don’t think that color is bad or not minimalist.
