#12I think this has been posted multiple times but, yeah, they are never going to succeed with a website like this.

I think this startup has a shot. Maybe even become a $100B+ company someday.

#17I wish more websites/companies realized how effective, practical, and beautiful this design is.

#18I wander if you look at "website bytes" to market cap as a metric, these might be most valuable bytes?

I want to make websites like this and run into the same problem every time: phones exist now.
The website is illegible on my phone. I have to do some zooming and panning and it feels awful.
It’s difficult to have a nice “classic web” page that runs on phones without a lot of care to use media queries. Not that that’s a deal breaker but it quickly departs from the “keep it simple” philosophy of these designs when you are effectively designing it twice.

#20This type of website, with just the addition responsive text, is how most of the internet should ideally be.
