Author here—some of you old-timers may remember when the LayerVault team launched Designer News here back in 2013—almost exactly 11 years ago. Sadly, yesterday it went offline. Thought I'd share for any of the designers or UI engineers here.

Thanks for writing this. I don't remember why I stopped visiting DN a long time ago, but a reduction in quality content makes sense.

Agree, I used to visit it daily together with HN, but at some point it stopped having interesting kudos.

To give it a positive spin, huge kudos to @dang for his amazing work at keeping HN great!

Interesting to see people were complaining about low quality comments from the beginning.
