It's the PHP of cryptocurrency: It just works. It might not be pretty, but it fundamentally gets the job done, and brings Cryptocurrency to the masses.

Original worse-is-better article was (mostly) about UNIX, so I'd rather say it is UNIX of cryptocurrency.

If it was PHP of crytpocurrency then it would have tons of bugs, will experience several full redesigns etc. DO. NOT. WANT.

Bitcoin: the Comic Sans of cryptocurrencies

No offense, but the format of your site is atrocious. You should consider installing Wordpress and get a nice theme from themeforest.net. The average theme is around $15.

You'll likely gain more readers, and will also please your existing viewers as well. Well worth it.

There is no need to go to wordpress if I need to buy a theme.

Most of all, I homebrew the CMS system to fit specifically the needs of bitcoinweekly.com. It doesn't have a lot of features and it doesn't need to have these features. The features that it does have improve the writing process, such as the review system which is beginning to free me from the editorship role and improve the quality and the speed of the process.

The theme is stark, yes. Some people like it. Some people don't. I have not gotten enough overwhelming hate mail to make me change my mind.

I suggest you just hide the black borders on everything. That would make it look much better.

Which table?

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (6 children)

I meant the divs. Also, stop "Business Database" wrapping to two lines and capitalise "home".

[–]hackerkiba[S] 1 point2 points  (4 children)

So you want me to fix the navigation divs?

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (3 children)

Yes please. And remove all the black borders.

[–]hackerkiba[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I am not sure if I wanna remove all the black borders...

Without border, it would be weird.

But the navigation bar needs some rework, yes.

Why is your website so narrow? You have a whole computer screen - use it!

Also, make use of this handy tool.

Funnily enough, "Business Database" wrapping was one of the exact examples I used a few weeks ago when telling kiba how BW was ugly. :)

In any case, if you want to read a prettier version, I think http://gwern.net/Bitcoin%20is%20Worse%20is%20Better is visually superior.

I have to agree with this man. It is an eyesore.. Add a couple animated construction gifs and we'd be back in the early 90s.
