alt Hacker NewsIf anyone from Planetscale is reading this, please know I hate what you did to your website. I previously had it bookmarked as an example of excellent, usable website design. About a year ago it turned into a plaintext nightmare. The first time I saw the new design I genuinely thought that a CSS file had failed to load in my browser. It's awful.
*Edit:* It also fails to load other pages if you have JavaScript or XHR disabled.

Was curious what it looks like now, and yea, not a fan of the fake hacker "we don't do CSS or styling". But then again maybe I was just used to their old design

Design is subjective of course. I love their new website and much prefer it to the old one.

Can you provide an example of a website you approve?
Same. Love PlanetScale, love their previous website design. I struggle reading white text on black backgrounds, so I don't even try to read their product pages or blog posts since there's no light mode :( yes I know about reader mode
It feels it went from "professional Stripe level design that you admire and it inspires you" to just "hard to read black website", not sure what for.
