#75I love https://www.luigicases.com - it's the web site for an Italian gentleman who makes leather cases and straps for Leica cameras. But the web design is straight out of the 90's, along with loads of extraneous text and even some family photos. And you can't actually buy anything via the website - you send the guy an email and a corresponding Paypal payment (https://www.luigicases.com/a000-PURCHASE-info.htm).
Basically, it's so bad, it's charmingly good.

If the goods are handmade then the bad UX serves as a rate-limiter to constrain demand to supply. I'm assuming the system works well for him as otherwise he'd switch to a better solution.

Not sure if it's just me or if it's not as bad as I remember it back in the day? Maybe my ad-blocker is interfering or Safari simply can't keep up with this level of madness?

Wow, I didn't know you could load assets from a chain on the web. That's pretty cool. I really want to learn distributed systems stuff like that this year: Blockchain/ipfs/ p2p / etc.

Presumably it's just using a proxy? As far as I know there's still no way to have the browser interact with the blockchain directly unless you use a non-standard extension like MetaMask.
