This is way too mature for the internet
I would charge them as much as they could possibly bear and that I could justify. It would be insane to do otherwise.
This is exquisite
Huge improvement from what I remember of last time, but I wish I had the before state to look at :)
This must've been a lot of work, especially since I remember you speaking to being a relative beginner when it comes to design. Nice job.
I defer to your whoosh
WHOOOOSH
+1 for close. It's not cheap, but it changed our entire workflow. We heavily use Zapier now to get a bunch of data into it, and the built in phone stuff is huge for us.
I think it's fine to have an ongoing dialog, but I think it also has the potential to foster group-think. It's very predictable to go into any conversation on DesignerNews with a portfolio that pushes boundaries and breaks rules and just find people hating on performance, scroll-jacking, excessive page size, usability problems, readability problems, etc. I don't want Dribbble-level "AWESOME!!@#" comments either, but people seem to sip pretty hard on the haterade here.
The aesthetics of this site are super legit. Does it have to be that useable? The dude is basically showing off, and they killed it. I'd love a conversation about when you can throw away rules and expectations and just produce something visually stunning. Sometimes sites are meant to be read, and with others, the text is basically just light window-dressing. That's ok in my book!
This is extremely impressive. Get ready for the hate train that is DesignerNews, as anything that smells even vaguely impractical gets looked down on.
