Blast from the past... I loved the CSS Zen Garden but it's goals and philosophy were oriented to a world where the primary purpose of a website was to serve documents. Our rich media world sort of left this vision of the web in the dust sometime in the mid 2000s.
- bigbuppo 1y agoI wouldn't say it's rich media, but the conversion of the web to be 100% marketing-driven. It's ads all the way down.
- kome 1y ago"a world where the primary purpose of a website was to serve documents" we are still living in this world. and i don't mean it snarkily. beside some maps application, most of the web is still about reading stuff, and it doesn't need so much cruft. it's getting more complex just because developers prefer complexity over simplicity.
