Seeing how Famous is pretty much yesterday's hype, I'm curious to see whether it can still become relevant.

What is today's hype?

Last time I checked? Mercury or Om. But neither of them comes even close to the level of hype famous had (back when it was famo.us).

It took me quite a bit of scrolling to figure out that Famous is some sort of JS UI system.

Tell me what it is. Tell me what it is. Tell me what it is. Tell me what it is. Tell me what it is. Tell me what it is. Oh.

Hmm...it's got a user and a machine...k...

Inspired by turtles, LEGO and ICs, k...

"Or with JavaScript in general" -- there's a hint

"Web Frameworks: Given that we're building a web framework" -- well, I wouldn't call it a given, but -- mystery solved!

Wow, things move really fast in this space. Is "back when" May 2015? The only context I have is the "Didn't you just release Famous in May?" quote from the article.

Not a great example: a) US-only b) breaks the back button

Doesn't work on mobile either.

Whoever built that site has an interesting approach to error messaging. Consider this scenario:

Environment:

iPhone 5c iOS 8.3 Safari

1) Go to milk.samsung.com

2) Milk displays a message suggesting that you access the site from either a desktop or a 'select Samsung device'. For some insane reason though, they provide a link to "Go to milk.samsung.com.

3) Click the 'Go to milk.samsung.com' link.

Result:

You receive the error message, "You are still on the phone".

My conclusion:

If they know that I'm on a phone that they don't support, why give me another link milk.samsung.com??
