A novelty site should require no login for a 10 second look laugh and bounce out.

I thought we already have LinkedIn for that?

So linkedin?

Just open up LinkedIn. I've never seen so much cringe in one tab. This includes some people I respect because they're good programmers. Why lower yourself to corporate slop

We have LinkedIn at home.

Fun ideas are always fun. That said, i am really tired of seeing every new website looking exactly like each other

Finally LinkedIn has some competition.

Another bait for grabbing user emails, another opportunity for a leaked database of as such! Why are there still sites, where you have to sign up with a disposable email address and waste everyones time? If you AI slop a website on your way to work, at least keep it accessible.

Great idea but you have to stick to your design language throughout the pages. The pill buttons become boxy on the feed page. The whole nav changes as well that damages user experience.
