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

Featured
35

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?

How many years passed after their last huge redesign? The time has come :)

Pros:

Looks really fresh and light. Love it much more than the old one.

Cons:

We'll see

Vlad Korobov
Is that on the WordPress?
Romain Dillet
@vladkorobov It’s running on WordPress with a React front end that leverages the WordPress API
Nicole Wilke
@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?
Olivier Janssen
Awesome job reinventing your product guys, congratulations! I found a little resizing bug on Safari (MacBook Pro '17), screenshot:

What called for the redesign?
Nicole Wilke
@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
@prokotasic Brand new from the ground up!
Arun

@leovbranco Isn't available to everyone, it seems. Takes me to https://techcrunch.com/
Nicole Wilke
@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.

On mobile, the percentage read indicator on the close button is 💯😍
Noel Tock
Exciting 🚀
Peter Sutton
It would be best if the link to the TechCrunch website on this page was to the new website

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