alt Hacker NewsWhy do web animations get so much hate with the HN crowd?
I think a website is similar to a painting. Some will make you dizzy by just looking at them, and others will be a minimalist dream.
Don’t hate me HN, but I say keep messing with the scroll bar, keep making annoying blinking banners, have your way with scroll fade.
Don’t listen to these web dev veterans, they are just like snobby movie critics!
They get hate because they are almost always annoying and distract from the actual content. Nobody cares how creative your web page design is if it sucks to use so badly that a plain text page would be better.
