I find the animations make everything look like an 00's display ad. In a bad way. Really hope this aesthetic doesn't catch on.

These are things people are already doing in native app code, so we've got to have some web equivalents or everyone's going to be doing everything in walled gardens.

  I agree, God forbid a native do something better than a web app. Let's make web dev even more complicated, I was just saying how simple it is currently

    how you personally feel about it is irrelevant, I would personally prefer the web to stay simple too but this isn't realistic — the places most people spend their time online are in native apps, if the web doesn't at least pretend to keep pace this will only get worse

      The web doesn't need to be anything more than a document delivery program. You thinking it needs to be an app delivery system is a deep error in judgement

        the web right now is more than a document delivery program... the genie is out of the bottle this is like saying usenet is all the social media we need... it might be aspirational, and it might be right, but it's not reality

        people seem to forget that computers exist, and these things call programs exist, that can execute on computers, even if a browser is not even installed on the computer

        indeed, but again this does not track with the way things are currently working

        Obviously you don't know what a VPS is

Same. I thought it was neat (though a bit ridiculous) that the codepen examples are doable just with CSS, but if I saw the first call to action button on a website, I'd think it was tacky and cringey. These sorts of things scream marketing and manipulation. Let me read your site and decide what I want to do. Don't try to distract me by annoyingly drawing my attention to the thing that will make you money.

I thought at first that codepen trying to upsell me.
