The roundabout that tests your confidence
Haynes avenue in Newark. For those of you that know, you know. Cars, semis, service vehicles and lost tourists come on this way too fast for a way too small circle. For semi trucks the middle is also a lane.

The boy is in love with the cat grass.
I always get them cat grass and they guard it like it’s gold.
In New Jersey, looking at historic photos, looks like it was a municipal building, maybe power or sewer? Just the size and other homes in the area, this is wild how much they want for it. Bought the lot at a steal, looks like they tried to rent it and now selling it. It’s just crazy.
Brought to you by Forbes- the site loaded with so many ads, chrome 86’d itself. It’s impossible to view a website without an ad blocker today. I learned to design sites in 2005 and everything I see now goes against the fundamentals of good user interface and overall design.
It’s all about the ads and tracking. Breadcrumbs are none existent, actual call to actions are hidden by fake ad buttons, the write up is broken up almost every two sentences by the same ad, not to mention the site is so badly coded, the ads dont preload, so when you read the site, it starts scrolling by itself as the 20 or so ads finally load in.
Not gonna lie, I miss the days of HTML table sites where you were ballin if you had an animated gif and your hyperlink highlighted instead of underlined when your rolled over it.
Seen this today just sitting in one of those apartment displays.

I understand companies who have apps, try to make you use it because they can collect more data and control your experience better, but I noticed Yelp goes crazy with that. Like to another level.
I like using the browser for tab purposes and the app gave me too many notifications and I don’t like sharing my location all that much. But I noticed if you have the app downloaded, even if you’re using the website it will force you off to the app. If I don’t have the app downloaded it keeps giving me a notification almost every other tap, to make me use it. Like this wonderful full screen popup. If I go into desktop mode, I still get a banner for the mobile app. But the best of it is how yelp punishes you for not using the app by locking you out of features. I forget all of them, but off the top of my head, I can’t look at pictures or see multiple reviews. The desktop app is fine on desktop but on a phone, it’s not ideal but less annoying than the mobile website. So I deal with it or just stay away from yelp altogether.
It makes we wonder what are they collecting / doing with that app, to make you use it by intentionally making their user experience on mobile horrible. Does anyone else feel the same way? Has annoying else hit these roadblocks? Am I just overreacting?
