But then make the user scroll through it?
well, yes, actually. use the viewframe to your advantage. understand the reader's scope of interest. whatever part they're focused on now can fill the canvas... anything else is visual noise until the reader is ready for it.
I think I will stick with the 10 principles of Dieter Rams: Good design is innovative Good design makes a product useful Good design is aesthetic Good design makes a product understandable Good design is unobtrusive Good design is honest Good design is long-lasting Good design is thorough down to the last detail Good design is environmentally-friendly Good design is as little design as possible
I agree with the last 9, but I have my quarrels with the first one. It just begs for people to make innovative designs even though the original one worked perfectly. Like a microwave oven with dozens of buttons even though the one with two dials (power, time) and the door-opener button works 99% of the time.

But a microwave oven with dozens of buttons don't follow the other rules. So I think you can see all ten rules as a complete set.
Yeah, but then I don't really see what purpose the first rule serves. I'd maybe put it last and rephrase it to something like "Good design is innovative when necessary".

This is the kind of design that works in print (and, I accidentally discovered, on my AMOLED display) but which a regular computer monitor turns into a weapon of eye destruction. Another important part of design is that you have to consider the medium. At all times. (I'll have to stop here before I go on a rant about mobile apps with "color samples" people use when picking wall paint colours...
Really depends on the phone. Anything with a P3 display (iPhone>7, iPad Pro, pixel 2, galaxy 7) actually has very good color reproduction without any calibration. Even better if it has ambient white balance like apple’s TrueTone.
Man, I like the idea, but these typos are seriously bugging me. On the main page it says "Who use them?". In Tim Berners Lee's page, it says "They look simple, [...], but the complicate what was a very clean design of elements and attributes". It's "but they complicate", right?
The first few words on the Tim Berners-Lee page I saw were: “Simplicity is easily to quote but often ignored in strange ways.” which is another typo that passes spell check, but makes no sense as-written.
