Unfortunately, the site was butchered a year or two ago with a redesign to make it look like a garden-variety Wordpress blog. A ton of content disappeared. The front page is reasonably dense, although one might also just call it cluttered, but the subpages are worse - sometimes a single paragraph lost in a sea of wrappers.

#104Some video games have them, mostly the ones with customizable UIs like Eve Online [0], World of Warcraft and the like.
"Pro" trading websites, for stocks or cryptocurrencies (e.g. Kraken and Coinbase have different interfaces for regular and "pro" users)

#105Google now forces designers to make huge interfaces on mobile. Tap targets smaller than 54px get a “tap target too small” penalty applied to the sites usability score. This score in turn can hurt your rankings for mobile searches. Which can in turn damage your business. So what are we to do?

#106I really like the density and legibility of weather underground's forecasts: https://www.wunderground.com/forecast/us/ca/san_jose
Used to be so much better before the acquisition, but I agree, they were wonderful at it for a while and some of the UI remains.

Agree on DAWs. Even though I'm familiar with the general concepts, every time I try out a new one (Logic, Reaper, Ableton), it's quite overwhelming at first. You have a pretty good idea about what's supposed to be there, but the sheer amount of knobs and buttons... But once you get in the flow, you quickly find out it has all the information you need, nothing more nothing less, it becomes second nature. (Notable omis…
Logic Pro X really impressed me with its accessible UI. Yes, there are a lot of functions, but they don't get in the way, and the important ones are fairly discoverable. Reaper, OTOH, not so much. Its routing is ... flexible, but unfortunately also in places where it doesn't matter, or even gets in the way.

#108Datadog does a good job with their logs explorer and custom dashboards.
Yeah, Datadog's pretty amazing at having an absolute ton of depth but concealing most of the complexity behind a friendly-ish interface. Came into this thread to compliment them in particular.
(If anyone from Datadog reads this, please 1) introduce a hobbyist tier so I can afford to use DD on my Pi bramble, 2) consider hiring me, or 3) both)

#109When people talk about UI information density it always reminds me of this HN discussion about the flight controls on a plane:

#110https://www.rockauto.com is the best experience I've had finding parts for cars. It's designed so you can find the compatible parts as quickly as possibly and organizes the options by price range.
