  • Idk I’m on two minds with this.

    On the one hand, I agree that there’s too many clutter in modern UI design and it takes away precious screen real estate. Especially more so when it’s for ads (external), ads (internal), and more ads.

    On the other hand, there seems to be a chronic minimalist UI movement to hide even essential controls and info into menus upon menus. The worse part is that there’s tons of whitespace so you’ll still won’t get good information density.







  • You don’t have to preach to me how it won’t be the same. I’ve tried a Lamy 2000 and know there are clones of it, and I know it won’t be the dame even without getting the clones.

    But those are at least “normal pens”.

    VP is just different enough that I’d want to try a clone first. And besides, the patent for the mechanism has ended. The two Chinese branda that have the VP style, Majohn and Jinhao, at least waited for it to end and do their version.

    I didn’t decide to get them lightly. Even with cheap things I do research first because money is money no matter how cheap something is. The 20s getsvthe job done enough and sometimes exceed VP owners’ expectations from what I gather from youtube and reddit.

    Though honestly I don’t have to justify anything but your tone made me defensive. And annoying to read :P
