This site repeatedly made my browser hang (Chrome 20 on windows)

  Repeatedly crashed Safari on 3rd gen iPad 3 as well. There's a certain irony in there for me. It is impressive though.

  I should have added some optimizations, but I promise to add them tomorrow. So please check back tomorrow again. Apologies for the crashes.

  Firefox with NoScript worked although I did wonder what was causing that fan noise! Not one to leave open in the background.

I haven't been this impressed with CSS since csszengarden.com. However, I have my doubts about animations. Keeps giving me flashbacks to ActionScript...and I already see comments indicating the site made their browser crash.

  You used to dev in actionscript to do animation in flash and it crashed your browser everytime ?

    I'm not sure if you want clarification, or you're a Flash fan and want to imply an ad hominem. I try to follow the principle of charity on the internet so here's clarification. Flash seems like a crash-prone plugin. I recall Apple had data to back that up when they pulled support for it on iOS. Since I want assurance that my web code will run reliably in as many places it is deployed as possible, I don't look fondly on Flash/ActionScript (the old IDE wasn't my favorite either, no idea how much that has improved over the years). I actually love the idea of a write-once-run-anywhere rich media platform, but in practice Flash had too many downsides, at least for my work. I'm not sure animations are a priority I'd set for CSS. I think it has bigger fish to fry. People want to push CSS toward being more of a script language than a markup language, hence the new Webkit variables. I seem to hold an unpopular view but I think these things will complicate and possibly make CSS less attractive to use. I'd rather see CSS be improved syntatically, incorporating features natively like those SASS gives you. (EDIT: to clarify the apparent contradiction, SASS has "variables" but they are really immutable constants, very different from what the CSS var RQs specify)

      Let me explain, I found it comical that you could actually be the worst flash dev ever, based on what you stated. It was the best interpretation, without touching the irrational side of it. "Keeps giving me flashbacks to ActionScript". That is a weird variation for a sort of, by now, stereptyped tirade on the subject of Flash and that has some implications. But I'll get to that in a minute. First, this is what you were trying to recall. The "data to back that up", I am sorry to say, the data doesn't "back that up". It was a WWDC 2009 keynote address by a apple senior vp that talked about some data, pinned on flash through biased analysis. It was data taken from desktop browsers crash reports. It is at the foundation of a bias that is useful for some even today. The bias is explained in detail in a daringfireball.net post: "Flash’s number and severity of crashing bugs could well be somewhat low and it would still account for a large number of total crashes because it’s actually used all the time — by any Mac user with Flash content playing in a web page." http://daringfireball.net/2010/01/apple_adobe_flash http://daringfireball.net/2010/01/apple_adobe_flash A notoriously pro apple site with a balanced point of view on this matter, you probably should read it to get a better understanding, it will save you a lot of irritation and will probably ground you in reality on the matter. Also, I don't know what sort of "ad hominem" coming from a "Flash fan" you saw there, but that line just speaks volumes in a passive aggressive way. You see I had to use the charity principle in the previous post too. That pointed me to be reading from a comically poor flash dev that had actually used "ActionScript" language and it crashed all the time, and was now having a verbal go at the past opressor dev plat. I could understand that, some devs are simply terrible. The other option would be to consider that you are oblivious to Flash users never contacting with the code, "ActionScript" itself. You mentioned it in a specific way. See, I know that to be biased because there is actually no particular thing that will make "ActionScript" code crash just because it is ActionScript. You most likely will get a lot of crashes from Flash IDE "designed" .swf files that don't have a line of human coded ActionScript in them. But you went there. So I had to go the other way around it and see what you were on about while trying to find a character that would fit the odd meme based statements you displayed towards the subject. But thank you for applying the charity principle ex post facto your original post. Clarification is always the best path.

Cool site, but I can't leave a comment on any of the demos. Says my email and website aren't valid.

  not sure why that would be happening. will take a look into the problem. although you can signup on cssdeck with your twitter/github accounts and then comment (takes few seconds).
