I always love seeing tricks like this from designers but then I never see anything this cool on the web otherwise. Where do all these great designers work and why don't I ever get to see the products they make?
Yeah, I too had fun with CSS and curvy circular text animation.<p><a href="https://egbert.net/blog/index.html" rel="nofollow">https://egbert.net/blog/index.html</a><p>(Sorry, web access is only HTTP/1.1-3, TLSv1.3 and ChaCha-only, no Chrome access possible)

Reminds me of this blog post

Those CSS animations would be a success in the web of the old days. Reminds me of the whole rounded borders thing: all those hacks and loops to make it work in all browsers (transparent images in the corners, lol), and then finally when there's wide browser support, rounded borders were already out of fashion
None of the examples in the article work with js disabled.<p>I'll say more generally, that as much as I love all the cool things CSS is capable of these days, I think it's gotten to the point where now I want a CSS blocker the same way I block ads and JS by default, ideally something that lets me enable only a sane subset of CSS while blocking everything else.<p>I keep meaning to write one for firefox, but I really don't have the time, and I'm honestly hoping somebody comes along and beats me to it.
