alt Hacker NewsShould load much slower.
Also, where is the unrelated autoplaying video that will unmute if you actually click it, that follows your scrolling and only becomes smaller when you dismiss it? Plus, it should probably have text that cuts off letting you know you can have access for just $10/month.
Plus, isn't this website undissmissably "better in the app" after a few minutes of attempting to use it on a phone? Where's that at?
edit: Oh shoot! I forgot, too. This modal needs to also ensure there is absolutely no way to scroll. If you could scroll you might be able to accidentally get to the address bar of your browser to fix the URL to xcancel or even close the page, which isn't using the app as you are intended to do.
Also, it doesn't attempt to hijack the back button to give me stuff I clearly wanted to see before I leave the page.
A lot of work left to do here before it's a "real" website. Although, it has about as much substance as the average website so far, so good work on that.

Yeah. No spinners. No pulsing gray placeholders that sit there for minutes and then shift the content when they load. No 10GB video playing in the background. My laptop didn't even get hot or spin up the fans when I viewed this page.
Feedback taken. Will ask ai agents to make improvements.
Where are the third-party ads that interrupt the content I wasn’t able to read? And the popover telling me about singles on my area? Why haven’t I been offered a subscription to a newsletter so I can receive daily updates and offers to pay for additional services?
You’re right. It’s a good start, but there’s still a lot to do.
Elements that load slower than the rest of the content, so it bumps the links that you're trying to click down, and you click the wrong thing.
> there is absolutely no way to scroll
Or, at the very least, at a widely different speed/acceleration that you're accustomed to
Wild that it is somehow worth it to stream video to every visitor on the hopes that it'll get them to stick around longer or see an ad in the video. That conversion number has to be crazy low.
Every. SINGLE. Recipe website.
Just search for anything like "egg omelette recipe". Click *any* link for example [1].
No, it definitely hijacked the back button

I don't think the goal is to capture all of the ways a website can break, but to capture all of the tropes that corporations add to websites in order to check boxes of what they feel a website should be based on imitation.

(Not for this website, which is obviously a joke/telling commentary. I mean for real 'fucking websites'.)

This is the most annoying thing on the internet. There’s a site I’d like to use, but “try the app” takes up the entire page (and appears to be impossible to dismiss?). Actually, is there a way to permanently request the desktop site for all future visits to a domain on iOS? There is no reason to visit this full-page app advertisement.
