Web design

My idea for attempting to reproduce it was to make a big stack of <div> containers where the top center of them are all in the exact center of the screen. Then apply: Then if I put the "star" at the end (bottom center) of each <div>, I'll have a random star field where I can later rotate the container around the center of the screen to get the look I was after.

Instead of only working with a handful of colors, you can create a whole palette of swatches at the same time so you can see if they look good together. Precise control of every shades/tints in each swatch rather than being limited by autogenerated colors. See which color pairs contrast as you edit so you can create a palette with built-in WCAG accessibility.

Tyler rejects the homogenisation of web design and decided to swerve Perfectly Imperfect into a lane of its own, inspired by the early internet aesthetics of "solid but saturated colours, lack of texture, MS Paint-style airbrushing, and a singular broadcast-style aesthetic", Brent David Freaney tells us. Brent's studio Special Offer collaborated with Tyler to bring the best parts of early internet's visuality, whilst still creating something that belongs in 2025.

Creating motion can be tricky. Too much and it's distracting. Too little and a design feels flat. Ambient animations are the middle ground - subtle, slow-moving details that add atmosphere without stealing the show. Unlike timeline-based animations, which tell stories across a sequence of events, or interaction animations that are triggered when someone touches something, ambient animations are the kind of passive movements you might not notice at first. But, they make a design look alive in subtle ways.

I agree with Berners-Lee's diagnosis. But regulation is not the cure. The web's decline is not merely a design failure; it is also an economic one. Design choices follow incentives, and those incentives have been distorted by fiat money and the advertising model it props up. Cheap credit from the fiat-fuelled venture capital system pushed Silicon Valley away from hacker-led engineering and toward surveillance-driven profit extraction.
