If you design a webpage that looks like an app loading screen, and have to put the word "SCROLL" at the bottom, I think that's a design failure, for the same/similar reasons that "click here" links are.
Are scrollbars to indicate scrollable content a design failure too? The site seems great to me, and I don't have issue with the explicit indicator.

Thank you! We need more Svelte lovers against the tyranny of React. RE: social network, I'm also gonna charge money to use it so I'm not yet another free option with a dubious future...an extremely tiny portion of people would pay for a social network so I'm hoping I can add enough features to make it feel worth it. So yeah, it's gonna be tough af out here LOL! I've never used Tailwind because CSS-in-JS weirds me out…
no :D

"uchū" means "universe" in Japanese. I use this theme for all of my projects so...universal. I can't speak to anything else but personally, I love Japan style/aesthetic/whatever so I'm gonna use a word if it fits.
"uchu" translates closer to "space" (spaceship -> uchusen), (alien -> uchujin), "I want to go to outerspace" -> "uchi e ikitai". You can't sub universe in those. Yes, a dictionary may use that translation, but watch a space documentary and they won't use "uchu" by itself for "universe". Also, in English, "universal" and "universe" are clearly related, but in Japanese, the concept of "universal" has almost nothing in…

I love the internet, and I love great colors...surely I cannot be the only one! ;)
How were these specific colors chosen to represent the internet?

Gotta love HN, only popular site in world where a list of hex codes on a nicely formatted website gets to top ranking
And trust me, I didn't expect to get more than 10 upvotes max. I'm slightly bewildered.

I had to follow like four links to figure this out. If you just want the CSS variable declarations, the file is here. https://uchu.style/color.css
The "Repo" link on the very first screen would have brought you to the repo with both the CSS and SCSS.

It’s true that the concept of ‘universality’ wouldn’t be expressed using a word like uchu — perhaps more likely something like fuhenteki (普遍的) or just fuhen ? — but this is how one Japanese dictionary chooses to define uchu : あらゆる存在物を包容する無限の空間と時間の広がり。 So it (if you trust this definition) refers to time as well as space. It’s slightly more abstract than just ‘space’. The Japanese entry corresponding to the English Wik…

What? That makes no sense -- scrollbars are there so you can drag them around and scroll, not just to indicate scrollable content. Not at all analogous in this case. The site looks nice overall, but the explicit indicator is bad design regardless.
