I have seen product roadmap shifting in favor of sales requests and significantly changing the strategy. But hey, that's pivoting right?


The solution provider is incentivized to add new use cases. Thus, always bringing the change that nobody has asked but the market.


Sorry for that. May I know what annoyed you the most? The old style popup (JS alert) or the presence of the popup?


Thanks for getting back to me. I wasn't expecting a response. As you've mentioned below it is now off which is great. It was just a very jarring, personally I feel its best to allow users to make their own opinions of the experience, I don't find the dark mode experience that bad at all. The text is white and the background is black. Good enough for me!


You seriously have to ask? Pop-up blockers were invented for a reason. Things that jump out and demand your attention are annoying, period.


Thank you for your feedback. I have removed the pop-up for now. No warning about the ugly readability experience in dark mode.


if you really care about it, can already detect it, and show a pop-up, surely it'd also be doable to show a header or something?

as others have said, the pop-up is really the issue here.


There is no switch. It's an inbuilt feature with the Chrme 57+


Agree to it or not, all B2C companies want to maximize the time you spend with them and therefore, will push everyone for consumption rather than creation.


A couple of years back, I used to make about $1000/month from about 150K page views. Nowadays, it is about $400 from 50K pageviews despite better CPC but ad impressions have come down.

Such calculators are worthless. There are tens in not hundreds of factors to determine ad revenue.

On the sidenote: The new app from Microsoft does not follow its design methodology if bright colors and big icons but seems to go for skeuomorphism.


What would the design people at Microsoft or Apple do all day once they have defined a guideline? The only thing that guarantees them jobs is changing the goalposts constantly.


Add Google to that list.

They break so many of their own rules i sometimes wonder if that was what made Duarte leave


a lot of the acquired teams sort of chart their own destiny. esp, as they get larger and large portfolios.


Chrome has already won the war of browsers however the new ones (Brave, Vivaldi, UC) are jostling their way with inbuilt ad blockers.

Now, it might seem that Google wants to maintain an edge over these with the new ad-blocking feature but one can tell that it will only block ads outside Google network.

The way I see it as a bigger bet on cannibalizing itself because if Google does not then somebody else will.
