Instagram does something similar if it detects that you are on mobile. A huge banner advertising their app is displayed, and the [x] in the top right corner is almost impossible to hit.
Better than yelp (and some other sites I'm sure) which literally demand you install the app, ie provide little to no functionality on mobile web.
I plan on showing this to family and friends to help them realize how common these anti-patterns are.
I also appreciate how it would reappear and block the interface.
But kind of disappointed it didn't instantly reappear if you moused over it. Or that it didn't randomly bounce for attention in my peripheral vision.
And to the person out there thinking of making a front end framework based on this, just don't do it man!
But if you do, I suppose you could call it BootAss or HateStrap.
I about fell off my chair laughing with how slow closing the "how can we help" popover was. If I had to write a backstory for this I'd say some dev was really proud of animating that and wanted to make sure everyone noticed it.
Honest question: Where do people think those cookie banners come from? Because, they aren't a dark pattern. They aren't a sneaky way to try to juice your engagement numbers. They didn't show up everywhere because growth hackers started getting jealous of the other guy's cookie banner. They are literally required by law, or at least many lawyers interpret the law in that way. The designers at my work really didn't wan…
Cookie banners are only really required if you're doing things like using them for "personalizing ads" and the like. If your cookies just there to check if you're logged in and other essential functions, you don't need a banner.

Even worse: several entries such as France, French Guyana share the exact same flag because they are, you know, the same country.
They are the same country edit: Not sure why the downvotes. French Guiana is a region of France (the country): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Guiana

Maybe the downvotes (not from me) were because your post initially appears to be correcting your parent (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20346737), but is actually agreeing with it?
It needs an accompanying IRC channel where the devs shit all over you for not understanding how to use it.
We should make a website that does everything in the opposite way: 1) Require adblock 2) Banner saying the website doesn't use cookies, which goes away if you mouseover 3) If you're on mobile, show a banner saying the website doesn't have an app 4) A signup form, but when you try to focus it, it turns into a banner saying "jk this website doesn't have signup"
I like your idea, but it depends on what you see as "the opposite". There's already an opposite in existence: 1) Not complain about adblock (ie. silently allow it instead of moaning). 2) Simply don't use cookies. 3) Don't mention app (which is often just an Electron frontend anyway) in any way. 4) Allow the website to be used without signing up. These 4 examples used to be the default back in the early days of the WW…
