I think whatever Javascript you made your AI write to do that is causing scrolling to be incredibly laggy on a phone and warm my entire device; Pixel 7a in Firefox.
edit: it's something you (Claude) are doing with text rendering. Zooming in on any text makes it exponentially worse.
It's obvious when you don't give a shit about design. It's extremely obvious when you lie about making something that a machine output when you don't give a shit about design yourself. Everybody sees this.
Sorry but this is one of those instances where you have to kill your darling. You can't sacrifice readability for textual content.
they could be quite nice if they were just in the background, behind the text
I thought it was really cool! It’s your personal website so you do you dude :)
I like that you like it, and that you did it because you like it. That’s reason enough.
I’m not sure what’s bringing out all the meanness in the sibling comments here, but I hope you’re able to tune them out. For what it’s worth I think their criticism is misplaced.
I don’t like that people are punishing you for taking creative and technical risks in public. Doing “the right way” for its own sake, especially in your personal space, is the path to mediocrity—especially at your age and stage (as indicated on your about page).
Please keep trying what speaks to you. You’ll get truer to your vision and stronger at executing on it with every effort you make.
And personally, I find the aesthetic proposition provocative, I feel like there’s something meaningful down the path you’re thinking. Illegitimi non carborundum!
