    There's a part of me that loves this, and loves any UI inspired by older operating systems.

    Then there's the part of me that doesn't want to feel like I'm learning a new operating system when using a website. As much as I can appreciate this, I could easily also see it being polarizing. There's a tradeoff between style and ease of use.

    As pretty as it is, this is not a page that should transfer 116.28 MB of data while I'm on it.

    Firefox Developer Edition detected a potential security threat and did not continue to www.lucy-ives.com.

    Reminds me a bit of https://breckyunits.com/ but with more retro chrome for the tiled layout of text.

    I really love this! It also looks good on my phone and has given me some inspiration for my own website.

    I love the idea but the why escapes me. Is this a curated collection of news or is it a writers blog?
