Ok, admittedly a great concept and super satisfying to play with.
However, god am I so burnt out on the Claude website aesthetic. It's flattening the visual web experience. All the obvious tells like the "dot with tiny all caps labels", and the one emphasized word in italics in headlines and the beige background.
A site like this would feel so much more... real?... if it had any sort of human design point-of-view. As is though, these sites all feel devoid of soul.
Anyone else feel plagued by seeing this everywhere?
I came to make the same comment! A particularly good example this one, that could have been featured in this article on the matter.
