The future of text layout is not CSS

Here is the article's text, extracted from the .js source: https://pastebin.com/5uguB0bs

Why is user-select: none and pointer-events: none applied to the content here? In the DOM it's perfectly serviceable content, even if the divs are absolutely positioned to achieve the editorial layout. If you disable these CSS properties the text is selectable and pastes in the right order as expected, since its based on the DOM ordering which matches the line order...

Additionally overflow is hidden, so you cannot read the entire text on desktop without using a very small zoom... and as others have noted, mobile is fully and completely broken. If the bubbles weren't so huge at least you could read a paragraph or two on mobile.

Full of emdashes and AI comparisons like "The performance improvement is not incremental -- it is categorical" too :-\

I can’t read it at all on mobile because I can’t scroll down. Is there a summarization?

I'm sure this is really smart but boy is this a pain to read. I even tried holding the orbs in hopes of reading the text but it kept reflowing so much that I gave up after 5 minutes.

Edit: I just realized that clicking once freezes the orbs.

No idea how I'm supposed to read the end of this. But it seems kinda interesting? Not that like, require('fontmetrics') doesn't exist, but it's definitely true that most JS needs more font rendering then the browser seems capable of giving us these days.

Click the spheres to stop them from moving, so that you can read the text.

I have zero idea what I’m supposed to be looking at? I assume it’s totally broken on mobile.

Seems the entire “blog” is ai generated images. So I assume this is more slop.

Yet another "this is the future!" project that completely misunderstands why the present is the way it is.

The website does not work on mobile. If you used CSS you wouldn't have this problem.

This is insane! And so underrated even though it is brand new

A shame there doesn’t seem to be any vertical text support yet
