Sorry but I find this page extremely off-putting...

All these colored boxes following my cursor around makes it hard to figure out what I'm even supposed to do.

And scroll doesn't work... I'm used to scrolling down to find out more about the product, but this doesn't give me anything to scroll to.

And then "try out the new grid playground -->" isn't even a link.

I'm sure a lot of thought went into this landing page, but it's so different from normal landing pages that I don't want to have to figure out how it even works in order to learn about the product.

Apologies for the criticism, but I assume I'm not the only one who feels frustrated by breaking so many web UX conventions.

Thanks for the useful feedback — we took a different approach to see if we could redefine the border of what "UX conventions" are on the web. Sometimes it hits, sometimes it's... different.

Fortunately we didn't expend a tremendous amount of effort building the page. Here's the preview link to the actual landing page for those curious: https://preview.webflow.com/preview/g-r-i-d?utm_source=g-r-i...

I'm on firefox and the whole things seems to be working just fine so not sure why you are giving me this message, but anyhow it doesn't speak well for your product if the output only works in select browsers.

A quick clarification - the output of Webflow actually works across all modern browsers, but the design tool itself has more limited browser support.

One of the biggest challenges with Firefox has been the inability to style native scrollbars to become dark with CSS – theres a decade+ long issue/conversation around making that happen: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=77790. Eventually, we gave up waiting on native support, and now working towards converting scrollbars to be JavaScript-driven to support Firefox (otherwise the white scrollbars stick out like a sore thumb in a dark UI).

Well, if the main problem is the style of the scrollbar and not the functionality itself, I would not put a warning that it's not compatible IMHO.

CSS Grid only works in select browsers to begin with.
