I don't think the commentary being made here is that startup websites should not be flashy. Just that, maybe they don't all need to look exactly the same as each other.

I think homogeneity is an unavoidable end game for the internet (unfortunately). At work we’ve been discussing whether to migrate off our home grown component library to Material UI. I shudder at the thought, personally. However, a compelling reason to use a ubiquitous framework is that the ubiquity means folks intuitively know how to interact with your product. Like many of us I was born into a deeply customizable I…

The most extreme virtue-signal is to go completely browser-default and have no styling whatsoever. Like lowercasing because your pinky can't be arsed to reach for the shift-key even though you've a billion dollars in series A.

I've mostly stopped caring about using using proper capitalization, commas, grammar and spelling in my writing of comments, primarily as a signal that i'm not an llm.

I stopped doing that long before LLMs were commonplace because I couldn't see a point in it. Like, the entire concept of spelling and grammar is arbitrary anyway. Proper English and spelling of the 20th century is not the same proper English and spelling of the 18th century.

For example, "you" was originally the formal form of the second person pronoun, and thee or thou the informal form. Many writers who try to write midieval period pieces tend to get this wrong though and just use thee or thou as a direct replacement for "you."

And then English spelling and pronunciation is just chaotic anyway.

I won't go out of my way to misspell things and I'll do my best to use the best grammar and spelling I can, but I'm not going to consult an llm or grammarly to make sure it'll get no notes from an English teacher when my only purpose is to comment on HN or write a quick update on slack.

Array language proponents also like to do this. In their case I‘ll allow it, it matches the substance.

Can you link to a genuine example?

It's there: https://vorpus.github.io/performativeUI/#/components/ascii-h...

Ah it’s in the hero section, kind of scanned that section but had lost interest by that point

So the thing that made you go through all the components didn't even hold your attention enough to make your argument true

explain why Craigslist, temu, etc. are all popular then? :p

Craigslist became popular when that was the clean look for a website, and then never bothered updating. Network effects in action. Temu offers people the ability to save money. If your product is "X, but cheaper" you can have a worse UI than X.

Amazon is a hideous looking website too and always has been. Ebay is similar too in that aspect and plenty of others.
