New beta Stackoverflow frontend. Hot or Not?
(media.piefed.social)
Just noticed that Stackoverflow has a new front end in Beta. I do not like it, however I slowly begin to fear im just another boomer. :( What do people on here think about it?
I think the beta looks just like any other weekend project with cookie cutter elements. There is nothing to differentiate it from other sites that are made after 2020. Current design is also way more concise Im not sure when we started using the whole widescreen for a website. Sure wasted screen estate is unfortunate but long mouse travel times are also uncool.
That's so ugly it hurts to look at.
Why is there so much empty space? The visual design is attrocious, the columns are just randomly placed without any thought, margins or symmetry.
It looks like it's incomplete? There are now visual guidelines to separate elements, it's hard to read and it looks like it's missing something.
