As for the idea: Isn't IMDB a site where you look up who made a movie, who played in it etc? This seems more like a directory? I like the idea of a directory for micro-creators.
As for the website: It feels a bit strange.
Scrolling is somewhat clunky. As if my computer was slow, but it isn't.
The scrollbar sometimes does not work.
I clicked on "Spotify" then all buttons stopped working. Reloaded the page and couldn't reproduce it.
I see it is made with Flutter. This is my first time looking at a Flutter site. Are all Flutter sites like this?
Something different. It's exciting to find something weird and different on the Internet, in this day and age of bloated, cookie-cutter, dog-slow, bloated React SPAs, and their even worse copycats in other frameworks, all looking the same, all with bad UX.
It's built in flutter which means the web experience is... janky. The first load is broken for me (parts of the text doesn't render, sometimes parts of the background is just grey where it obviously shouldn't be). Scrolling feels off and doesn't work with arrow keys, home/end and page up/down. Every click for me has a large noticeable delay, even for things that don't do network calls. Accessibility is basically non-existent even when enabling flutters a11y feature. The scrollbar is not the native one, so it doesn't work the way I'm used to and if my pointer is all the way to the left I can't grab it.
I'm not convinced one can build good webapps with flutter.
I like the design, but I don't really get what I'm supposed to do or what these things shown to me are. Are they like a meta-playlist of creators on other platforms? Why can there only be 5 in them?
Yep, but it has a single hidden button to enable flutters a11y mode. So you tab to that and enable it with enter, but even then it's just a bunch of generic nodes, images and buttons without any semantics and presentational elements like the logos above and below the top section show up as nodes.
Basically flutter tries to solve the screenreader use-case (badly by default) but ignores all other a11y usecases.
Damn, I love this. Information is dense and clustered, edges are sharp and it all feels so _human_. I can't stand the uncanny valley, fake minimalism lots-of-whitespace flat design bullshit that has taken over the web. This feels good to traverse through. Found a nice boxing channel I hadn't seen before
I guess the initial page load size is huge on desktop (31MB due to the big added list compared to mobile), because you cannot use lazy loading in flutter via `<img loading="lazy">` or similar?
If there is an option to do that I think it would be nice.
I like the idea, I'm enjoying scrolling through (on laptop) it looking for content.
I like being able to pick content by category and medium (i.e. substack about film, youtube about crypto etc.)
I'm not sure what the Plus button does.
Something's wrong with all links - when I hover over it it doesn't tell me where it'll take me if I click on it.
The graphic on top with the fake smartphones showing different feeds is confusing. What is it showing? is it clickable?
I'm very much not old, but now I know what it feels like to be 70. A little explainer about how to use the website would go a long way I think.
I'm actually looking forward to this being improved because I did eventually figure out what it is and I would really use it
Stumbled across a great animation substack with stories about Richard Williams that I would never have found otherwise.
Thanks! FWIW I love the aesthetic of the site - it reminds me of the weird early web.
hi, i'm one of the two co-founders. it's all very much a MVP at the moment, works on desktop. mobile is coming soon, sign up the newsletter if you're interested in being notified. appreciate all the feedback!
