- PixelForg 4y agoI really love this! It also looks good on my phone and has given me some inspiration for my own website.
- zfxfr 4y agoThe website is nice and original. but i don't get the concept or the idea.the menu items don't really tell much? or am i missing something ?
- diego 4y agoApparently it's simply a writer's website. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucy_Ives https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucy_Ives

- worthless-trash 4y agoJust a heads up, you're not shadow banned.
- AbusiveHNAdmin 4y agoNot this ID, and not yet. But thanks!
- AbusiveHNAdmin 4y agoThe downvotes prove my point. Pathetic.
- ZeroGravitas 4y agoOne of the news stories is about the website itself: http://www.lucy-ives.com/news/it-s-nice-that-on-this-site http://www.lucy-ives.com/news/it-s-nice-that-on-this-site > unique website was designed by New York-based web designer Becca Abbe. Featuring a lo-fi aesthetic, the site is comprised of six horizontally-scrollable panels which display the different facets of Lucy’s work ... > The index draws from the Renaissance-era concept of the bookwheel and the interior projects pages are based on a Victorian furniture piece called the Holloway Reading Stand,”

- sophacles 4y agoIt would be cool if I could touch the title and get more info. Anyone know of a startup doing something like that?

- warent 4y agoMy SonicWall is blocking this website. This site has been blocked by your network administrator URL: http://www.lucy-ives.com/ Block policy: CFS Default Policy Client IP address: [redacted] Block reason: Violence/Hate/Racism
- rcoveson 4y agoUnfortunately we at SonicWall can't disclose exactly what we're protecting you from, or we wouldn't really be protecting you from it, would we? We even had internal discussions about whether or not spelling out the words "Violence/Hate/Racism" went too far by itself.

- warent 4y agolol this isn't the "Big Brother" 1984 reveal you're making it out to be. It's pretty likely just their IP address is blacklisted. It was probably used previously for a malicious host. It's quite easy to change my firewall policy. It's just strange that this happened since it almost never does.
- rcoveson 4y agoTo each their own, I guess. I can't (or just won't) change my visceral reaction to hearing about how somebody brought a corporate censor into their network. It's not "1984", it just makes me, personally, slightly sad and confused.
- warent 4y agoTry replacing your judgment with education and understanding. My home office has servers with static IP addresses, hosting profitable businesses with other people's data. It may be time to grow out of your visceral reaction
- gardenhedge 4y agoFirefox Developer Edition detected a potential security threat and did not continue to www.lucy-ives.com.
- nperez 4y agoThere's a part of me that loves this, and loves any UI inspired by older operating systems. Then there's the part of me that doesn't want to feel like I'm learning a new operating system when using a website. As much as I can appreciate this, I could easily also see it being polarizing. There's a tradeoff between style and ease of use.
- lancesells 4y agoI liked it and bookmarked it. I'll come back to it when I have time but I don't mind having to slow down and explore a website.
- mikercampbell 4y agoSame. I think a small but crucial accessibility move is to have an escape hatch, as much as it would ruin the vibe.
- Nijikokun 4y agoI love the idea but the why escapes me. Is this a curated collection of news or is it a writers blog?
- creata 4y agoAs pretty as it is, this is not a page that should transfer 116.28 MB of data while I'm on it.
- camillomiller 4y agoIt takes a good two minutes to show anything on a mobile phone. Considering most of it could be done with CSS, I don't get what's the need for such a gigantic payload. Moreover, I find it very hard to navigate. Not a fan.
- creata 4y agoThe payload consists mostly of a lot of absurdly high-resolution images (that are very small on-screen).
- Okawari 4y agoYou're right, but as one who thinks we've kinda optimized the fun out of the internet over the last years I can't really fault it for being suboptimal. While I don't want all webpages to be like this, I like that this was made, rather than the developer thinking "this seems too much of a hassle to make efficiently, so I'm not going to do it".
- thom 4y agoAlso by the same designer (if you like this you might like Headgear): http://cdxs.ist/project-list http://cdxs.ist/project-list
- gwern 4y agoReminds me a bit of https://breckyunits.com/ https://breckyunits.com/ but with more retro chrome for the tiled layout of text.
- counterpartyrsk 4y agoSuch a beautiful UI <3
