I recently launched the landing page[1] for my startup and the designer gave us a crazy animated design.

All of my personal sites never required JS and have always worked just fine in Lynx. I didn't want any JS on the landing page (not even for analytics, we can do that server side), so decided to see what HTML + CSS can do these days.

I was pretty blown away with how easily I was able to have a half-dozen animations running in parallel with 3 videos playing and being transformed in a 3D space.

Even better, the page works perfectly fine in Lynx! I recognize that there are times with the modern web where JS is required, but I try my damnedest to minimize it. And modern web standards make it easier in ways that were impossible a decade ago (e.g. no more $.fadeIn()).

If you add an overflow:hidden to your content section, you won't have that wonky extra space to the right. That's just a quick fix. I didn't look into why it was happening.


You can even define glsl shaders in css nowadays :x
