> This sounds like a feature rather than a bug. Website UI should not make sounds. While I usually agree, the sounds that it does make are not intrusive. They're only in response to user events (page loading/loaded, something was clicked), aren't stupid-loud (IMO), are very brief, and don't include any spoken words. Think of hearing button feedback in sci-fi videos. For what it's worth, I'm also using Firefox 79 and…

For the love of God will someone think of the people that don't have fiber internet ? The carelessness of most web devs is infuriating. Don't you care that a not insignificant portion of potential users / customers will just close your website after waiting a few seconds as nothing happens. To the author that thinks he's making the world a better place with lines of code (written on his GitHub), then walk the walk an…

I'm confused - the code for the landing page is about 690k, with a 760k background image, and the code for the "Play" section is another 333k. Are those the sizes you are thinking of when you mention fiber internet? I've never had fiber internet and the site loaded very well for me. Is there something I missed?

It definitely is for me. The LCARS interface is as much of a character of the story as the as the Enterprise herself (substitute with Voyager, Defiant, or São Paulo if you wish) and I’d go a step further of saying ship interfaces and systems inform us as much about the era of Star Trek one is watching as does the plot and narrative at any given moment to the discerning and attentive Trekkie :)

Strongly agreed. Which is why I was glad to see LCARS returning in Lower Decks , and the series is experimenting with tweaking the design a little to include some lessons in UI design learned over the past decades. Despite being animated comedy, I like it better than post-Enterprise installments, because it brings back the design language of TNG/DS9/VOY/ENT era.

The feel of this interface is incredible. What's most interesting is that it evokes lots of memories from the games I played more than 20 years ago, and yet it is very distinct and doesn't copy any of them. Feels almost like something very familiar, but you can't quite grasp where you saw it. This is incredible and I'll be following this project, and probably will do something with this framework, too.

It feels very much like the Introversion games UI’s to me. Especially the hacking game (of which the name escapes me for a bit).
