Thanks for your reply and great call out. The purpose of the prototype is actually to only highlight new processes and small, key feature redesigns that our persona, Dennis Kang goes through. There are task guidelines and without knowing the tasks and subsequent user flows, the prototype won't make any sense! I'll add those to the article to clarify!
May I ask for clarification on what page the prototype link led you to? The link should lead to an immediate sign up/onboarding process.
Articles/browsing definitely weren't removed in the prototype, but can't be accessed from every page as the prototype linked above isn't a full, working prototype (another thing that I will clarify above!) but instead a tool to individually highlight an onboarding flow, a user profile flow, an article search flow and a comment browsing flow! Please let us know if you see anything else that could make this post a bit more clear!
Sorry about that! I originally thought the proto was a more full example and was thrown off guard when I discovered I could only sign up through the link in the post.
While I personally think that the flow that Dennis went through is a non-typical experience for first finding dev.to I want to thank you again for doing this as anything to see dev.to getting better is cool in my book 😃
