I really love this! It also looks good on my phone and has given me some inspiration for my own website.

The website is nice and original. but i don't get the concept or the idea.the menu items don't really tell much? or am i missing something ?

Apparently it's simply a writer's website.

One of the news stories is about the website itself:

http://www.lucy-ives.com/news/it-s-nice-that-on-this-site

unique website was designed by New York-based web designer Becca Abbe. Featuring a lo-fi aesthetic, the site is comprised of six horizontally-scrollable panels which display the different facets of Lucy’s work ...
The index draws from the Renaissance-era concept of the bookwheel and the interior projects pages are based on a Victorian furniture piece called the Holloway Reading Stand,”

Unfortunately we at SonicWall can't disclose exactly what we're protecting you from, or we wouldn't really be protecting you from it, would we? We even had internal discussions about whether or not spelling out the words "Violence/Hate/Racism" went too far by itself.

lol this isn't the "Big Brother" 1984 reveal you're making it out to be. It's pretty likely just their IP address is blacklisted. It was probably used previously for a malicious host.

It's quite easy to change my firewall policy. It's just strange that this happened since it almost never does.

Firefox Developer Edition detected a potential security threat and did not continue to www.lucy-ives.com.

There's a part of me that loves this, and loves any UI inspired by older operating systems.

Then there's the part of me that doesn't want to feel like I'm learning a new operating system when using a website. As much as I can appreciate this, I could easily also see it being polarizing. There's a tradeoff between style and ease of use.

Same. I think a small but crucial accessibility move is to have an escape hatch, as much as it would ruin the vibe.

lancesells• 3 years ago

I liked it and bookmarked it. I'll come back to it when I have time but I don't mind having to slow down and explore a website.

Nijikokun• 3 years ago

I love the idea but the why escapes me. Is this a curated collection of news or is it a writers blog?

As pretty as it is, this is not a page that should transfer 116.28 MB of data while I'm on it.

It takes a good two minutes to show anything on a mobile phone. Considering most of it could be done with CSS, I don't get what's the need for such a gigantic payload. Moreover, I find it very hard to navigate. Not a fan.

creata2• 3 years ago

The payload consists mostly of a lot of absurdly high-resolution images (that are very small on-screen).

You're right, but as one who thinks we've kinda optimized the fun out of the internet over the last years I can't really fault it for being suboptimal.

While I don't want all webpages to be like this, I like that this was made, rather than the developer thinking "this seems too much of a hassle to make efficiently, so I'm not going to do it".

Also by the same designer (if you like this you might like Headgear):

Reminds me a bit of https://breckyunits.com/ but with more retro chrome for the tiled layout of text.

Such a beautiful UI <3
