I normally hate heavily scripted websites but holy fuck this is one of the cleanest user experiences I’ve ever seen. This is truly a work of art.

You just havent seen much true multimedia, what the web was originally optimized for. You've just seen designer barf and marketing's wet dreams, but not sites actually meant to convey information efficiency.

Text, videos, images, and interactive elements are all individually not that great. The magic is when you can have all of them on one page, each for the parts where they are the best option for part of a whole idea.

But that doesn't jive well with medium that just wants everything to be text, or YouTube/TikTok that wants everything to be a video, etc.

Yeah, my degree is in comp sci and I am very aware of what is possible. 99.9999% of the time scripting just results in the desired content being covered by something unnecessary and making what the user is attempting to view/interact with jump to somewhere else against their wishes. This is absolutely the best usage of scripting I’ve ever seen on the web.
