This sounds great but I’m genuinely unable to figure out how to get to part one.

Not the thumbnail. Not the pink text “A History of Visusl Basic”. Not the number one on the list of chapters. Not the chapter ousted at the very bottom.

The next button is for a different article.

How am I supposed to navigate to the thing the article is advertising to me? It’s a very strange decision not to make it really easy with a strong call to action or obvious link.



I found it on the site's books section: https://evilgeniuslabs.ca/books/visual-basic-history


It’s like this site is competing for a prize that rewards the best visuals and the worst user experience. There are lessons be learned here.


I would argue against best visuals myself.

Any site that needs an immediate pop-up telling me how to disable effects is tacitly admitting they have a bad design. Especially by needing multiple font choices.
