I’ve put a touch more time into https://npm-uninstall-facebook.com/ and added some skip links, so you can jump straight past the wall of copy that intros the site.
The copy is, unfortunately, necessary to protect the feelings of tech bros.
On my way to Brighton to get started on a new project 🚂
I find “yes they did bad, but they do so much good” uncomfortable. It’s currently being uttered in places to defend Facebook.
I feel like this because of Jimmy Saville. He did a lot of good, but a lot more pure evil and was defended a lot.
Maybe time will change attitudes.
“Good design systems work is not about consistency. Although yes the more non-reusable parts we have in our front-end, the more likelihood there is for visual regressions and bugs. It’s not about the UI though – looking at an interface is not a measure of the quality of its system.”
Robin providing heaps of wisdom, as per usual.
I’ve put in a PR on https://npm-uninstall-facebook.com where the intro copy has been totally reworked.
Hopefully that will eradicate some of the misinterpretations of its purpose.
Feedback and comments absolutely welcome.
Here's a preview of that change
