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.
It has already begun. You can browse meta stack overflow and see how all the recent announcements posts have several hundred downvotes. The removal of the chat entry barrier, opinion based questions, now the redesign, native ads, ... it has all been awful, the community responded accordingly but they just push through with it anyways. And they wonder why they're losing users...
