Gojee.com is poorly tested because it was attempting to animate giant background images which bring an older machine or one without a GPU to a crawl.

This looks familiar...

I did the UX and front end implementation on a very similar site in July last year (having been inspired by thesixtyone.com myself).

Here's the site: http://BlaineFisherPhotography.com Here's a walk through of the creative & dev process: http://voltagecreative.com/articles/blaine-fisher-photograph...

I love this design aesthetic and am glad to see it catching on more and more.

Must give email before you show me a reason I want to give you my email?

No thanks.

The site looks great and is fun to use.

But thinking about how Gojee might plan to make money, I'm reminded of the difference between a product and a feature:

EDIT:

I didn't realize the author of that post is working on another recipe site. No idea if he's following his own advice or not ;)

Thanks Leftnode.

Because we just launched Gojee, we've chosen to focus on improving the depth of the browsing experience for a majority of current internet users. That means the major browsers on fairly recent machines and mobile.

We're not perfect, but we're improving day by day. If you have any problems/suggestions, feel free to email me at tian.he@gojee.com

But you need to show me the reason I want to give you my email. I don't see why the website needs my email to show me recipes.
