- alejoar 9mo agoWhich also changes the background color to yellow for some reason. And then the "night mode" is.. what is that, a lantern? Jeez.
- jsheard 9mo agoAh, so you can. I tried that but the particles don't disappear immediately so I thought it was just toggling the colour scheme.
- master_crab 9mo agoYeah I thought the same thing too. Takes a few moments. A UX suggestion for the author. If a user wants it off, it doesn’t need to be graceful, just quick.
- hn_acc1 9mo agoYeah, I wasted 60 seconds of my life on that stupidity. Makes me much less inclined to read another article by the same author.

- moogly 9mo agoTrue, but the site owner clearly despises their prospective readers. I found it more prudent to close the tab and flag the submission.
- throwaway270925 9mo agoFlagging a submission just because they added a little whimsy for the holidays to their personal website which you dont like? What a sad, sorry, hate-filled way to go through life.
- moogly 9mo ago"Hate"? For flagging a UX-hostile submission. Who is overreacting here?
- serial_dev 9mo agoWow, it turns off the snowflakes, but the ones already falling will stay there and keep falling. I thought it only changed the background color to yellow, so assumed it doesn't actually turn off the snowflakes, wanted to come here and comment how ridiculous that is on an article talking about bad icons, then I saw in the comments that it turns off the snow effect... eventually (like a 10s delay). It's hilarious that it's a great article about clutter, and yet, the post is on a theme that is so badly cluttered it would have been funny... if I could have read the article...
