We are currently in an age were where you take your eyeball is a valuable resource.
|
||
|
As such there are professional, and a lot of smart ones, whose only job is to ensure
|
||
|
you pass more time looking at what there is best in their interrest, not yours.
|
||
|
|
||
|
There are a lot of techniques to grab your attention and not letting it go somewhere else.
|
||
|
|
||
|
- animation
|
||
|
- colors
|
||
|
- gaming the relationship
|
||
|
- entertaining
|
||
|
|
||
|
All of them are in fact not really problematic. But now, this is too much.
|
||
|
So in order to feel calm again we need to have better control of what we see, are exposed to.
|
||
|
|
||
|
If you take a look into the gopher sphere, you discover a lot text-oriented world.
|
||
|
Of course there are pictures, but not in the middle of the article.
|
||
|
|
||
|
So mostly text. No gif, no animation, no music, no video, just textual content.
|
||
|
|
||
|
We passed from a world where there was too much textual content, to a world filled
|
||
|
with meaningless animations, colors, pictures, effects, popups, etc...
|
||
|
|
||
|
*Detoxify the web*
|
||
|
|
||
|
Here is my solution:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- remove all the styles of all the websites so a lot of website cannot be used anymore that way.
|
||
|
- replace by a default focus oriented style.
|
||
|
|
||
|
My only solution is to start a proxy between me and the web, I take the content and do a lot of cleanup.
|
||
|
I remove all the CSS (faster), I use my own (nicer and contolled)
|
||
|
|
||
|
Simple and efficient.
|
||
|
|
||
|
This transformation should be done by the client.
