Medium.com has such a beautiful UX (please ignore, just a love post) I'm in love with medium.com's UX. It's just so clean, responsive, simple, and beautiful. Just giving a shout out to you guys over at medium. Your team must be amazing to produce something so elegant. |
It's nice, but it could be faster. Considering medium is just displaying text posts, there really is no need for so much cruft.
I'm of the opinion that when you're developing an app that will be used regularly, it is justifiable to have an expensive initial load time, provided it allows for a better experience on following uses.
I understand there are purists out there that disagree with this, but... "Yeah, well, that's just like... their opinion man". There are always trade offs. You just have to make tradeoff decisions based upon the needs of your primary user base.
