  What is your browser/OS combo? Thank you for bringing it up, we can only fix things that we hear about, so I appreciate knowing that something is off.

    No worries, Windows 11, browser I just tested in Opera and Edge. Shared Intel GPU runs at 70% in either, guessing due to the lovely clouds drifting by.

      Thanks! I don't have Opera installed on my Win11 machine, but I tried it in Edge and it's barely using anything, but I realize that I have something beefier than a shared GPU on it. I've filed a bug internally and we'll make sure to take a look. We don't use these animations in the product, only the company site, so this is the first time it's hitting a broader audience. I appreciate the report and sorry about that!

        Firefox on win11 here, scrolling the page is super choppy and it pegs my GPU at 100%.

        Pushed a fix, let me know if it hasn't improved for you.

        Very fixed!

Thank you! We liked our old look, but one funny thing about how things are going in the world: our old color scheme was too close to what happens when you ask Claude to generate a site, and so even though we paid a human to build it, we didn't want to communicate slop, especially because that's not what we did! Nick Noble is our designer, he put in a bunch of work on this, and I really like it too.

  I love how little latency there is on your website. I'm often thrown off by websites freezing on navigation, something we euphemistically call "loading". I feel we should have moved beyond that in the year of 2026. Your website really respects the user in this regard. Aesthetics are splendid as well.

  Nick is great! Met him at the Recurse Center. Brilliant designer.

  Hire somebody who's got at least a modicum of understanding of (web) typography. Small hint: A moving background layer makes reading supremely annoying, and for some people even (virtually) impossible.

    I'll have it stop on non-homepages, it should also respect reduce-motion. Any other reccs?

what a lovely website
