I just checked your profile and I'm impressed by your commitment to log in once a month, write some out of pocket comment and then not write anything else until the next month

Do note you can click and drag on it too.

on linux desktop, rolling the mouse over it makes things happen; clicking and dragging aren't different

I have accidentally swipe-navigated far more times than I have ever purposefully swipe-navigated (zero times), so I am astounded to see someone who hasn't rage-disabled that misfeature upon installation of the OS.

I don't begrudge it being overridden here since this is a demo, but ever since, like, way early Opera era, swiping to navigate is muscle memory for me, and I prefer it both on desktop and mobile/tablet. Much simpler than reaching for the button.

i was never attracted to the gattaca UX, it's a UI pre-crime.

reaching is muscle memory for me. buttons i like because i know what i'm getting, and what i'm getting can be many different things as buttons allow.

No problem on Android/Chrome. Are you using an iPhone? If so, the annoyance should be aimed at Apple not the creator of this demo.

I don't use Android swipe gestures but I presume they would work in FF too. Nonetheless, we should avoid posting "it works in Chrome" as an answer to anything. I have a deep-seated hatred for Chrome-only devs - not least of which is because it has contributed to the situation we are in, where Google is taking the "my way or the highway" approach to Chrome and adblockers, Android is locking us out of sideloaded apps,…

Except there's literally nothing a web page should be able to do to stop your back gestures from working, that's an OS and browser responsibility. If it isn't working it's the OS and/or browser's fault.

On what hardware? Runs well on my Pixel 7a. It's likely just a fancy pixel shader (or few).

Compaq Presario from 2003 running XP on Internet Explorer, why?

Jokes aside my Pixel 8 Pro handles it just fine as well

Despite the liquid glass discussion … I am absolutely impressed how smooth this runs on a phone.

Refreshing that it's built using the vue framework vs the typical react.

It's even reactive, the clock went horizontal if you give it a wide enough viewport.

Damn this is good. It's like playing with oil without having to wash your hands afterwards, and there's no mom chasing to give you a beat for the oil money you've just wasted. And on top of that, it tells you time.
