· Web · 28 · 20

@plsburydoughboy quitting twitter has one downside: I don't actually know if anyone remembers me or how to get people to test my website

@caraellison I can assure you it's hunky dory, maybe I'll give it another try when my internet speeds isn't as fast and let you know how it works then

@plsburydoughboy I almost think its cooler when it takes a bit of time to load because its more like its the 90s utopian netscape then

@caraellison Haha I got that! But I don't think you want to simulate the 90s experience of games/programs just outright failing to run

@ChrisWere @caraellison
That's pretty badass, checked it out from my phone.
Made me feel all nostalgic and stuff.

@ignitionigel @ChrisWere thanks! I don't think many people know about it yet but I like fiddling around with it a lot

@caraellison it’s unique for sure. That 3D page is really odd. Might be annoying the second time around to have to click through three pages before getting to the subject at hand. 3.5/5 ;).

@doc no no I would like for it to be extra annoying

@doc I'm thinking of making it even more obscure and possibly even making it harder to figure out what to do

@caraellison I've only tried on mobile so far but EEEEEEEE+

@caraellison

NIIIICE!

Where does that fall on the EH to EEEEE scale?

@caraellison On a scale from 1 to 10, it's late 80's Pixar shorts.

@caraellison Whooah. That's the best website I've seen in ages O_o

@caraellison It's very cool, I feel like it should have music too

@matthewseiji oh cool idea. I could pay you to do this, if this seems like an interesting time?

@matthewseiji cool!! well let's meet on the FB chats

@caraellison can confirm that site goes from pure vaporwave to awesome almost cypunk noir and it turns what could be just a nice, clean, and utilitarian but boringly mundane site about yourself into a hell of a great experience full of great touches and awesomeness, whilst still being easy to navigate and fun to explore. Plus it's pretty easy to read too.

Only issue I came across was the gradiant backgrounds on the about pages uh... well it had a very visible "bar" at the bottom where it looped

@caraellison (that's on current version of normal firefox on win10 x64 btw if that helps any)

@Nine ah yeah - I kinda like that, it's like the webpage is breathing or something

@caraellison ah cool! I wasn't sure if it was intentional or not, I was wondering if it was meant to be like...waves moving up and down like a neon sunset lit ocean or something and it just wasn't rendering right?

@Nine no its just weird which is the way I like it really

@caraellison then in which case, absolutely no issues here. :D

@caraellison It actually functions in w3m

I mean, without the animations and fancy web shit, but it functions which is more than a lot of other sites do

10/10

@troubleMoney violet forest put it together for me and she is solid af

@caraellison EeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeEeeEEEe/10 - looks fabulous.

@caraellison AWESOME!

How does that fall on the EH to EEEEE scale?

@caraellison Nice website. Surprisingly it didn't crash my mobile browser, though it did slow it down.
