Doesn't seem to load for me except the side windows. Firefox/Linux. HN hug of death?

The design language screams vibe coded to me.

That is so laggy, but the UI looks really cool!

V cool. Works in ff on mac for me. Maybe vibe coded but it's a spectrum. Probably in need of a bit of polish and a better performing example & maybe resolution switching. Basement Studio is legit I have bought their fonts in the past.

Floating windows are a little pointless but aesthetic choice or a one shot ui. FPS would be nice, also distinction between canvas and void. Video export works great.
