| > On first sight, the design looks nice. On second sight, it’s a slow SPA, showing placeholders for way too long. The usability around navigation has the typical buggy SPA feeling: Actually I'm on mobile right now and I was impressed how speedy it was. > Go here https://topcat.sora.city/found > Tap an image, use the back button of the browser and you’re all the way back to the client-side no-cache loading of the profile. > Or again, tap an image, try to copy the description. It swipes to the next image or something (on mobile). Very weird usability. Works for me just fine (maybe been fixed in the meantime?) on Firefox on android. > Or tap one of the last images, close it with the close button and Safari will scroll all the way to the top again. Again no problem here on Firefox for android. > Imho, the SSR experience of most personal blogs is quite important if you want to compete with other platforms, because broken back buttons and obnoxius content loading is what you get from places like Medium or LinkedIn. A SPA is totally the wrong way to go here I think. > In short: it looks nice but feels shitty. I don't agree compared to many other offerings this feels quite snappy IMO. |
