The New New New TechCrunch - Announcing a new look for the site

by•

Today, we’re launching new, new, new TechCrunch to about 10 percent of our readers. If you’re in that group, you’re going to see a very, very 1.0 version of our new site that we’re going to build on over the next few years to deliver what we hope is an experience that aligns perfectly with what we cover as well as how we cover it.

I feel like a product that isn't available to everyone should definitely NOT be allowed to be featured on the Product Hunt homepage. Can a Product Hunt admin please comment?

What called for the redesign?
Nicole Wilke
Maker
@prokotasic We'd outgrown the old site. It was 5 years old, and no longer worked for us in many ways. It was time to modernize, clean up years of clutter, and create a foundation on which we can innovate/experiment faster and better moving forward. I'll be writing about that in more detail when we do the full launch.
Luka
@niclauren congrats! I’m assuming you’ve built this version from scratch?
Nicole Wilke
Maker
@prokotasic Brand new from the ground up!
Vlad Korobov
Is that on the WordPress?

@vladkorobov It’s running on WordPress with a React front end that leverages the WordPress API
Nicole Wilke
Maker
@vladkorobov Yes, using the REST API with a React+Redux frontend.
Vlad Korobov
@arunsathiya thank you for that, I did not know about this
Vlad Korobov
@romaindillet glad to see that React is used. So it is renders on backend (server side rendering) and frontend?
Vlad Korobov
@niclauren so TechCrunch will not be so slow anymore?

@leovbranco @arunsathiya It isn't available to everyone yet, even if you have the link. We'll be dialing up the % of users who get it over the coming week, though.

Until they get rid of Tido or at least limit him to satire vids I can't take TC seriously anymore :(
