Always start from the premise that the best interface is no interface.
The FR site is a good example of this. It’s basic, but it works.
“It’s basic, but it works.”
Yes, but still full of weird UI quirks. You’d go to your profile to change your personal tagline, right? Nope, just change it on a post.
If you change it, you must have to hit “Save” to commit it to memory, right? No, it auto-saves.
And your personal profile info is distributed in two different places.
Yet, it is clean, simple, and fast...plus NO CLUTTER! The newspaper web sites are the very worse. 90% of the content is covered with crap you don’t want and the crap moves around to always obscure the content. Fortunately, the “Reader” function in Safari gets rid of most of it and the Brave browser is even better at that.
