Not cruel at all! I asked and you answered. And you very well may be right. My expectations were probably just off. I thought for some reason it would have more "world constraints" so if I say "swim to the center of the earth

Well the $8k/month the author is making on patreon to work on this project clearly indicate that my view is not shared by all. :) Horses for courses.

Yeah that's not ethical as far as I know to not disclose one's financial connection to a company one is "reporting" about. For posterity can you link to her connection to webflow?

Looks very cool! Would be nice if arrow and/or spacebar worked for scrolling on this website. They appear to have been sacrificed to the god of parallax. edit: they work until you click something.
