Too unrealistic

This is a good list!

I was thinking about adding couple more things as well:

  • randomly non-working website with message that according to GDPR you can't use this website in Europe
  • popup that tells you "seems you like this website", sign in/share
  • hijacking scrolling

But it was actually tricky to implement :)

The website really is too small and too fast. It loaded in under 100ms for me, and the total page size is negligible. :)

Hey, I also noticed a few issues with your interwebsite. 😆

  • [ ] There weren't unnecessary loading icons that blocked pressing continue till it had finished loading
  • [ ] I wasn't shown a feedback form about my experience > As soon as the page loaded
  • [ ] There's no stock photography that's nothing to do with the website.
  • [ ] There were no adverts, anywhere, do you even make sites bro.

  • [ ] The Please-Don’t-Go Popup (https://www.nngroup.com/articles/needy-design-patterns/)
  • [ ] The Get-Back-to-Me Browser Tab

It may be good to display a fake content all the time and show the pop ups over it, with a just long enough delay between each pop up to let the user have the time to focus again on the content.
