I'm building my personal website[1] also inspired by FUI design systems. I don't think usability is an issue at all, at least with the design approach I've taken. They're just React components which you could easily feed real data. The visualizations and animations are more difficult to replicate. [1] https://x7ci.engineer/

this is beautiful, congrats and thank you for sharing

wow, that is really cool! are you using a UI library or are these custom built?

Love the fade-in animations. Really awesome.

The only problem I have (on laptop) is the font combined with the text size (10pt) on the blog is a bit on the smaller side. I recommend bumping up the font of the body to at least 14pt to increase readability for most screens.

I yearn for a frosted UI which has chilly condensation which shifts around the edges. Something from TRON but mixed with John Carpenter's 'Thing' vibe which white, blue & other nordic colors.

That sounds amazing. I wonder what the closest thing to that available today is.

This is what early internet thought "the future" looks like for the web. I am wondering why there isn't design diversity (not using the sociological meaning of the word here) for forward-looking web technologies? Somehow the conversation typically centers around AR/VR or inserting crypto into everything. VisionOS is stereotypically "clean and modern". Web design in general seems so derivative and uninspired, which is…

And years later we got mobile-style interfaces and designs that are present on almost every device we interact with. Big elements where sometimes it's impossible to tell the state or even distinguish link from informative text - things which are often utilized in dark patterns tactics

Arwes feels pretty well done but rather from a period somewhere between 2005 and 2012, rather than "the future" but it is ofc done in a futuristic style

Why? React’s component model can be an excellent abstraction for building a “normal website”—or rather, its component parts—for developers who prefer it. React can compile to static HTML, without running any JS client side, and/or can be used to mount or hydrate arbitrary subtrees however one sees fit. (I’d probably favor Preact or Solid for the latter, but React is a perfectly cromulent choice)

There is design diversity, but you're just not going to find it on mainstream sites or apps because they're catering to the everyman. When that occurs, you're tossing away novelty for a sense of expectation.

Much in the same way you can find a variety of art but the majority that gets attention are hyper-realistic works. It's just easier to understand for the everyman.
