A highly compatible design with no ads, unnecessary images, videos, animations, scripts that goes straight to point delivering you exactly the information you need and nothing else? Something that’s easily accessible even with old feature phones allowing older people to get information easily?
Simply something that loads instantly and just works?Who would want that?
Found the backend dev. “CUT THIS AESTHETICS NONSENSE! GIMME THE VARIABLE CONTENTS ALREADY! WE’RE 3.54 NANOSECONDS BEHIND!”
Frontend: “Come on, this needs at least some flair. This isn’t the 90s.”
Throws React at it
React ugh, everybody is using NextJs these da- …oh, what’s that? We’ve moved on already?
yeah, just css is enough.
you don’t need js unless you need to fetch data dynamically.
you can do all of your animations, dropdowns and transitions in css.
like this menu i made. no js in sight.also fully accessible and you can tab right into it without clicking enter or whatever
(and respects prefers-reduced-motion)
what is wrong with this frontend? not enough ads? loads too quickly?
No cookie banner with the worst dark patterns of UX imaginable
No designated time zone.
Honestly, no units
I would hire you as my lawyer.
The page at the top looks perfectly fine. It’s useful, it gets the job done and it’s lightweight.
almost as good as the motherfucking website. :D
I like the better motherfucking website
The top one’s a motherfucking website, indeed.
Good, that we have specialists for both and nobody is advocating that everyone should be doing full-stack work… oh wait.
What if I want the weather in Paris, TX?
You need to fire a gun and to a really good bald eagle impression.
From my experience, devs be like:
Backend, yay! Frontend, nay! … and I the end, not even the backend works properly.
So in the end, it doesn’t even matter?
I TRIED. SO. HARD.
The frontend developer made the backend so inefficient that it runs out of memory
God I wish weather pages were more like that first one.
I like to use this one: https://wttr.in/
You can get info for a specific city by appending it like this: https://wttr.in/newyork
