Or you can do like modern UI designers and throw both form and usability in the trash and optimize for novelty and "brand" instead.

My kingdom to have RAD developer tools be the norm again. I don't want yet another website as an app, or website bundled in a Chrome fork as an app. You could have built the same thing in VB6 or Delphi with less effort and used less of my resources in the 2000s...

Fear not, soon everything will have the style that the major LLMs find most aesthetic.

Or just following the bandwagon. Here's looking at you hamburger menu... the thing that 83% of people don't even realize is a thing that can be clicked on.

I’ve recently come across a number of websites where the hamburger menu has been eschewed and what is obviously a drop down menu placed at the centre of the page immediately below the page title graphic.

I’m not sure if it’s a particular framework or whatever, I’m just a computer user.

The sites where I’ve seen it have predominantly been for business whose primary activities are not-online.

It’s refreshing.
