Sorry but this seems like yet another poster like splash page inspiration sites like Dribble, Awwwards, Behance, Httpster, Gsap, Godly. I've yet to find any sites with actual real world UX examples; actual content, actual text, not miles of scrolling and enormous whitespace, 1 picture and a size 200 font - that's a poster, cool but irrelevant. If you are doing work for a company you need to put lots actual content on…

baymard.com is what you're looking for.

This is great. I presume the e-commerce focus it takes is irrelevant if I’m looking to improve UX skills?

I often visit www.awwwards.com for inspiration. In the past there was plenty of these websites i.e. Design is Kinky, etc. I also remember the early css reboots. But I'm going into nostalgia now. :)

This (unlike the op) is actually great. Truly surprised to find something like this in 2024. Thanks for the link!

I scrolled a bit and 90% of the thumbnails at least were content free 10 words per screen "sites". Who has time to browse those?

You mean marketing landing pages? FWIW, I think it's helpful when the value prop is front and center.

Show me a web site of design like in the examples with the value prop is front and center.

What value prop? A 10 word phrase that's coming out an automatic bullshit generator* and that doesn't tell me anything about what they're selling?

* automatic bullshit generators were available online even before the current "AI" religion.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

In the first few rows, I see—

* Auditional: Powerful Audition Tracking Made Simple

* piefi: One App to Run Your Money

* Peerlist: The Professional Network You've Been Waiting for

* Arrows: Collaborative Customer Onboarding Plans for Teams Using Hubspot

Some of these could use some work, but they are front and center?

I can only assume this was posted to HN as ragebait. I think a bunch of these pages look great. I wish my brain could intuitively match typefaces, colours and illustrations in the way some of these pages do, but no, engineer brain go bleep bloop.

But let’s be real: they’re way too marketing-y for the HN crowd. Don’t they know we like 10px text and as few margins as possible? Information density, people!

Why are the featured screenshoots still desktop-only?

FFS it's 2024, we're supposed to be thinking mobile-first, and focusing on experiences for the majority of visitors (i.e., mobile), and yet "inspiration" remains "look at these desktop designs"?

When does such irresponsibility become negligence?
