One of my most prized possessions is my collection of personal screenshots -- I've managed to save basically every screenshot I've taken over the past ~20 years. It's very nostalgic to put them on shuffle and see how my desktop has changed over time, remember what random thing I was working on, etc.
Could be cool to extend the concept beyond one user.
As a self-taught software dev; it helped me hone good design skills and also off topic - I poke around a lot when I visit certain websites to see which technologies they are built with. Maybe it was me testing js scripts or verifying the API/Object properties of certain functions - the habit stuck haha.
Dey well
I have vague plans to do something with these one day. But until then, I hoard!
Not a lot melonking sites.
My younger bro makes music, my older bro (a dev like me) critiqued his new vocal track just this evening. I said it’s fire; he called it cliché. We exchanged looks, and my younger bro quipped, “Perspective is all it’s about.” We laughed.
As they say, One man’s trash…
Dey well
Just tried and it's working here in the US.
You don't even need something fancy like WebGPU/WebGL, just the CSS transition property will do the job there.
PS: As someone who worked on internet search, I can assure you that at least half of most popular web pages change in about 6 months time. And the change is in no way something that can be done by bots.
Of course not all is bad, but I'd love to see some creativity again, it seems like almost no one dares to break the norm anymore.
Ton of people complained, they hated it!
That's why everything is fucking boring, because everybody tries to cater to the average.
This is why consistent UX beats out cleaver design (churn)
Like if someone wants to do crazy stuff, that’s fine, do it as an art project, whatever.
But IMO the only people who benefit when businesses and institutions are required to turn their websites into works of art, are artists. Everyone else is worse off.
A bit quirky is exactly how I would have described it and once I accepted scrolling one direction would move the page wherever the designer wanted, I was fine.
I guess we found all the kids at Ender’s battle school that couldn’t imagine the enemy’s gate as “down”.
Don't get me wrong. I like creativity. I am an artist, even have a degree in Fine Arts. But there are times to innovate, and there are times to just make things work. Web UX needs to just work.
So, yes, it does break the back button, but it doesn't pollute the actual history.
