I really dig a couple of those palettes, but that website might be the most infuriating thing I have seen in a while. Unnecessary slide transitions. Product Hunt begging. Interrupting the back button (edit: or maybe interrupting a slide to a palette? I don't know, both are bad) with a beg for me to sign up for their newsletter. An interstitial added after they already interrupted me with an email beg--this one, a tweet-this beg. Just...none of this is good. Stop. You came up with really nice, really neat color palettes. But now you made me think you're jerks. Stooooop.

The newsletter is actually triggered by heading to close button detection (there are scripts that detect fast movement towards the top of the page and display "wait a moment" popups), which I agree is one of the worst things that happen to the Web these days. And that fancy transition (which I wouldn't mind actually) is even broken on Firefox - it ends sliding both in and out, and only then the page actually switches.

I opened it on Firefox Focus on iOS, and I just see a heading about 280 colors and a list of other products below. Looks like the main content has been blocked by the ad/script filters in the browser.

Using NoScript or turning off javascript fixes all the problems on that site. Although then it's just a blank white page without even so much as noscript text.

  NoScript creates problems, too. I have no problems with the use of JavaScript. I have a problem with tasteless dickery.

Hello there, maker of the website here. I'm sorry it made felt you that way, but so far it helped me to engage much more. PH Bar actually disappears after your first visit and subscription hook activates only once. Anyway, I've turned off PH bar and newsletter subscription hook :) Would be nice to hear how can I improve the experience here.
