Eric Sad news that The Independent is moving online only, always enjoyed their print edition, their website not so much.

Mark Dain All news websites seem to be awful, I never figured out why there isn't some clean, minimal, fast to load site that just shows you the article and perhaps some adverts for revenue (journalists are expensive), but only static images, nothing flashy. Is this really so much to ask?

🦿 Lucian Marin Because they refuse to pay good developers to do their job. It's all part of their cost cutting plans. These news sites are based on complex and complicated CMSs that no sane programmer wants to deal with.
