Because it doesn't serve much practical purpose. Uniquely designed websites take much more effort (and cash for companies) to create, and they look cool, but they are much harder to use for the average user

It's fine for things like advertisements - I've never gone the website for a movie but I imagine this is what those websites should try to be. Is it worth the effort?

If you're trying to make a website people use it's not worth it

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/

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

They're all custom built (except for the ECharts component). Thanks!

Flash died and there wasn't much of a replacement tool. Timeline oriented vector graphics are great for designers but hard to do well with raw HTML.

This is so sick. Blows Arwes out of the water.

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.

Appreciate the feedback. I'll try to improve readability.

In the future, everything will be cyan.

This seems to be a thing in anime and movies. It dates from the early 1980s, when displays were mostly green. Fiction needed something different. It also works well for see-through displays which allow the audience to see the actor's face.

On stuff you actually have to interact with, it's more of a cliche now.

Very cool, but distracting that the very first top left attention grabbing glyph is an unrelated company's logo https://polygon.technology/
