    I had never heard anyone say "I'd like to double-click on that" until yesterday and now it's following me everywhere...

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

      It took a bit of clicking, but no login needed to see the "feed". https://cringeout.com/feed

        Unless it chained in the last 31 minutes, the Feed link is literally top-centre of the homepage.

    I thought we already have LinkedIn for that?

    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.

    "authenticity meets audacity." - I thought this is what blind was for?

    > Password must contain at least one special character (!@#$%^&*...)

    Why?

      That authentic bad corporate practice experience.

      It hasn't become better since 2022 from what I've seen (for instance from my inbox 5 minutes ago, demanding yet another password rotation with a new and longer list of obnoxious requirements)

    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.

    Finally LinkedIn has some competition.

    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

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

      Yesterday I was bragmaxxing when it hit me. Here's what they don't tell you: It's early and they're missing some important features.
