Isn't this just short-lived neumorphic design from a few years back? https://neumorphism.io/#e0e0e0
It does take the idea further by anchoring the design system in real world objects.
so, skeuomorphic

#42Reminds me of VST GUIs, looks great! But, like other commenters have noted, I think a number of these controls might be desktop only, which is totally fine. There’s too much UI stuff centered around mobile anyway these days
Counterpoint: I hate VST GUIs. They're often skeuomorphic hell. They love fiddly round knobs which are terrible to control with a mouse or touchpad, and are bad for accessibility. They also tend to have a bunch of mystery meat navigation because the historic hardware UIs they're emulating were forced to bury stuff behind menus due to limitations of the technology, and cost limitations, at the time. Some are better th…
While I have a massive collection of VSTs I always end up using my very limited modular and Rytm mk1. And Elektron machines are an UI nightmare.

#43God this site has atrocious scrolling behavior. Allowing me to scroll halfway to the next "page" but then forcing me to stop scrolling and start again to get to the next one made me close the page half way through.
Isn’t it just scroll-snap?
Nah, this one stops you while you are scrolling and only lets you move on if you stop for a moment.

#44My favorite is the knobs where some of them you can grab and rotate like they are physical but other ones only react to the vertical position of the cursor so you feel like a crazy person trying to use them

If you're into skeumorphism, you'll love it. I put a lot of care into how the buttons and other elements work and interact with each other.

#45Skeuomorphism is back, baby! Apart from the wonky dragging on some of the knobs, I really like these. Kind of reminds me of teenage engineering.

#46Nobody who cares about UX adds virtual knobs to flat interfaces.
Re: Ambient CSS v3 – Blender meets CSS
#47I had tried (and failed) to do something similar. https://analogui.com/
you definitely reached the limits of skeumorphism. click and drag, especially along an invisible, curved path, is not user-friendly.
Re: Ambient CSS v3 – Blender meets CSS
#48Why must UI/UX be a fashion. I knew this skeuomorphic shit would return eventually.
I’ve been clamouring for the return of usable and at-a-glance understandable interface elements like this!

vercel apps really do have a reputation
Re: Ambient CSS v3 – Blender meets CSS
#50is it too much to ask for a button in a different colour to the background. ffs
