Why aren't web animations more popular due to these apps? Is there something wrong with Edge for example?

Real animation is expensive; and there are many trade-offs for working with such an unstable and cpu-dependent technology. Besides; video and Flash are still "good enough" for most use cases (children animated series, educational videos, etc).

I don't have NoScript and opening the page still made Firefox lock up. Flagged the submission because of that.

Flagging the submission seems like the wrong approach - this is something Firefox needs to fix quickly. I believe some websites let you insert your own CSS in certain cases, and this could easily be abused... There needs to be a limit on how much time can be spent trying to render CSS or a popup box asking if you want to close it similar to how javascript behaves.

Maybe an issue related to prefix free and firefox?

Amazing showcase of CSS3 animation and of course, talent! I know, it's not meant for mobile, but I'm just curious what will happen and tested it in my 4th gen iPod Touch. Too bad both Safari and Chrome in iOS6 crashed when I press the Start button.

It's smooth on my iPad 1 / ios5 / Safari. And that's saying something, it cries with trello and anything client heavy.

You mean there are no really competing browsers, Chrome has ~90% market share and it's development stalled with the team being assigned to other projects?

Unwillingness to appropriate the personnel money (i.e. either hiring people with animating skills or giving a current staff member a raise and having them take on the responsibility of learning to animate) could be a major bottleneck.

Don't try to open this page with Noscript enabled in Firefox - it locks up the browser. I'm guessing that without the javascript to control the CSS, everything runs amok. Seems like you could make a browser DoS attack by simply copying this page and stripping out the javascript? Might be worth a try... for science.

why you keep calling Chrome the new Internet Explorer?

It's not about monopolistic practices, as another reply to my comment says. It's about developers using new, incompatible technologies and thinking that everyone is using a WebKit-powered browser.

At least I didn't get a "please upgrade to a modern browser" notice in Opera, like an unfortunately high number of Show HN posts have done...
