Previewing The New Phoronix Design

[gQuigs]

Please fix your RSS so that your RSS articles link directly to phoronix.com instead of feedproxy.google.com.

I've also seen feedproxy.google.com stop working.. and it's a good decision for the privacy of your users to, see last paragraphs here: https://www.schneier.com/blog/archiv...es_to_the.html

Oh right, and with them dropping Reader, maybe feedproxy is next..

Yes, the RSS will be just like it is now.

Please fix your RSS so that your RSS articles link directly to phoronix.com instead of feedproxy.google.com. Google is mostly blocked here in China so clicking articles in your RSS feeds gives nothing but "connection reset" and it's annoying. Because then I have to open a web browser and go directly to phoronix.com and hunt for the article instead of just being able to open it up from a link in my newsreader.

But the feed with headlines will still be there?

As long as the RSS feed keeps working, I'm good. But I still need to load full article web pages if I want to read them, How will those look?

There will not be public full-feed RSS.

previous / next

The website always looked uncool , tired and oldish.
But I'm more about the content. The new look is not bad. mbit suggestions are great.

now that you're overhauling that, I'd like to express a couple of wishes to improve the readability of articles:

1. put a link to PREVIOUS/NEXT ARTICLE at the end of each article page. I'm reading once every 2 days, so at least a dozen unread articles stack up since the last visit, and I don't like to go back to home page each time.
2. put a decent/modern image gallery browser. Like those popping up on a semitransparent black, complete with PREVIUOS / NEXT image arrow link. Oh, and choose one of those viewers maximizing/fitting the image size to the browser screen! It's unbelievably annoying to bounce back and forth the main article just to browse the attached figures!!!!!!

have a nice coding/designing

That is correct about the web page I linked to, however, assuming I understand this correctly, one can make it use that space for higher resolutions as well. See http://www.makersquarter.com/ for a better example. Also http://www.awwwards.com/websites/responsive-design/ has some websites that resize to very low and very high resolutions equally well.

Yea, that's pretty cool.

That scales interestingly to low resolutions. Not so to high ones, there is way too much unused space and text is too compressed for the amount of blank space there is on the side.

Using all this info, the page is re-aligned to look really nice no matter what device or window size one has. Take a look at http://metronews.ca/ and see how it looks just by resizing your window. At virtually any size, the site is very readable and visually very appealing. IMHO, this is the best way to design a website, considering the wide variety of screen sizes today.
