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"

How about having the Log In dialog prominent and the Sign Up dialog more in the background.

I sign up only once, yet every website makes it hard to find the login dialog which I use way more often.

Very commendable - it doesn't work at all without javascript.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The slider that doesn't update until you let go of it is a nice touch.

My "favorite" is picking your address number by repeatedly clicking the tiny up arrow.

Ah, I had no idea what that was. I left it at 1

Upload profile picture area didn't appear correctly in Edge, had to switch to Chrome. Don't know if this is intentional but it's definitely accurate from my experiences, lol.

Reminds me of some old maths software we had to use in school which only ran in 'IE 6 or higher', but if you used IE 8 or above it would report the same 'use IE 6 or higher' message and not let you use the software. That software was also the only way to check whether your answers to the practise questions in the corresponding textbook were correct, which made revision pretty painful.

This is like the movie Brazil, no longer funny because it has come true. If I was sure it was intended as a joke instead of a showcase of "best practices" it would be funny.
