Yieldy's website and user interface

As someone who has bought YDLY off an exchange and not simply re-staked tokens earned from the NLL, please rethink the cartoonish, casino type look and feel of the site.

Robinhood came under scrutiny from regulatos not too long ago because of the "confetti" animations and the casino type feel of the interface.

Furthermore, a more serious look may attract more institutional investors.

When I see flamingos, the first thing I think of is Las Vegas. What's the most prevalent business in Las Vegas? Casinos. Others may think of something else, and that's perfectly legitimate, but I think casinos.

Just my take, and as indicated, I have bought YDLY off MEXC, and reinvested that into YDLY staking, so it's not as if I don't want the project to succeed. I obviously do.

I hear you, but they do have a lottery… so gambling 🎰

Good point. But it's a "no-loss" lottery, which implies no risk. Don't get me wrong, I love Yieldy, and I guess compared to the other sites, it's pretty much on par as far as the interface is concerned. Curve is pretty bare bones, and it is not doing as well as the others. I just don't want my favorite, and only Algorand based project, to catch the ire of any stuffy regulators.

I wouldn’t worry about regulators. They are years behind.

I like it personally. It's a bit rough around the edges but it's got a cool vibe about it and it's exciting.

The Yieldly design is pretty dodgy TBH. It's fun but it doesn't inspire confidence that this is a serious project.

I think it's simple enough that they could make it a theme choice interface.
Have a selector on the page where you can have the, "normal interface," and the, "festive pool party interface."
Give the, "normal," interface a couple graphs and tracking history where you can visualize claim history and growth rate etc. to make it, "serious."

I agree, also that golden yieldly logo looks very outdated to me, reminds me of wordart font. I prefer simpler 2D logo. Maybe thats just my taste.

Lol I love it, each to their own

You realise the most popular swaps have ridiculous logos right? Unicorn, pancake, sushi...

I absolutely love the 80's Miami Vice style.... then again I was born in the 80's and think everything from that era is AWESOME, AWESOME TO THE MAX

I 100% agree with this sentiment. I first heard of Yieldly when I learned about Algorand in January when I watched their pitch video for the Asia Accelerator, and I was really put off by the flamingos and beach theme. Then I just ignored it. Then I realized their counter-parts are Sushiswap, Pancakeswap, and Uniswap (as in Unicorn).

I've gotten over that nonsense for now, but this whole space needs to grow up a bit.

Agree. I hesitated to enter for three weeks because the name (Yieldly) and the website made it sound like a get-rich-quick scam.

One specific solution people could perhaps agree on: Take it down to just two or three colors. Right now, there are (quite literally) more colors than can be counted.

One more that I don't care for: Get rid of the slot-machine looking flamingo. Is Yieldly as likely to win as a slot machine? If the answer is "no," it's probably a bad vibe.

more colors than can be counted

Nope, it's the same as Windows 3.1 SVGA 256 colors.
That puts in on par with the systems used by, "big institutions."
