I don’t see unnecessary UI, I see NEEDED UI. Discourse is so minimalistic you
don’t see any relevant information at all 8(

What is good at this example? I don’t see anything good there but lots of
problems:
- very hard to see who posted a reply

replies to see them?)
- lots of wasted screen space (empty space and a very narrow text area)
- cryptic stuff like this

This is considered GOOD today? Does any modern web trend think on older people
