- nylonstrung 2mo agoIt's actively unhelpful even for the most "non-technical" of users to further anthropomorphize LLMs and "agentic" workflows that boil down to moving plaintext around The design is cute but this is an abstraction that simply has no reason to exist, and is the opposite of what better UX looks
- omeysalvi 2mo agoKeeping aside the functionality of the app, the vibe of the web page and those mascots is NOT IT. They are unsettling and creepy
- rw2 2mo agoYou can love it or hate it but it's unforgettable
- unsnap_biceps 2mo agoI will forget about it by Friday.
- sixtyj 2mo agoCreepy and cringe is recent mega trend. I feel like early 90s and its pseudo-cyber-punk. Nevertheless, Berd’s homepage is like Teletubbies and Thomas The Tank Engine have babies :)
- dkdbejwi383 2mo agoI think that's the point, no? The page is light on text but appears to be some kind of weird art project making fun of the inane "helpful and friendly" personas given to LLM chatbots
- dgellow 2mo agoAre you sure? Given it’s from Block I really cannot tell if it is some meta irony or serious
- tosh 2mo agogreen is not a creative color
- drcongo 2mo agoDigital style.
- rw2 2mo agoBranding is crazy good
- bbg2401 2mo agoI can see crazy but I'm struggling to find any good.

- Klaster_1 2mo agoNot to be confused with Berd spokes/wheels.
- Liftyee 2mo agoFittingly for an AI page, the "Easter egg" page lags my phone significantly.
- tosh 2mo agonb: this is by block (https://block.xyz https://block.xyz)

- ura_yukimitsu 2mo agoI know my office computer isn't very powerful, but holy lag batman! I get between 1 and 10 FPS on that website.
- grugdev42 2mo agoThis website is not very user friendly. Huge amount of assets to load, an unclear product, and a visually distracting experience.
- john_alan 2mo agoprobably built with Berd
- thinkingemote 2mo agoI actually like the design. It's the product of a human and it's fun. It also feels like it's playing with jokes about brain-rot aesthetic so communicates a contemporary and young point of view. It's cool. The thing it's selling doesn't appeal to me in the slightest but they have tried and have some human ideas in the webdesign. Cool design if cringe product
- ofjcihen 2mo agoComing off of a full 24 hour incident response and clicking this has me wondering about my choices.
- jareklupinski 2mo agowelcome to tech?
- RamblingCTO 2mo agoWtf is this shit? The page nuked my browser, then I got a jump scare from the weird sounds. What's wrong with them?
