I love the lens effect at the bottom of the viewport and design of the site overall, really cool. Do you have a post about that effect - or is the best way to learn about it in the developer tools?
I’m the opposite end of spectrum. I really disliked the frosted glass look on images as they loaded and left the page before finishing reading due to how off-putting I found it to be.
I also left the page early. I enjoy reading, and wasn't able to do that as effectively on this website.
It didn't make me leave the page, but I agree that I too found the effects annoying and off putting.
