The constant re-styling of the page was annoying enough to make me close the tab and not come back.

I thought it was cool, the UIs of the past evoke lost memories of past eras. But sadly, the images glitched out and stopped displaying after I manually changed the date. Probably due to my internet connection haha
I thought it was cool, but the changing text sizing/wrapping made it difficult to read. I kept having to re-find my spot. But I read slow and was too lazy to just click on the era I wanted to set it back while I kept reading. Keeping the text layout consistent with the changing theme would have been a nice touch, and maybe a good future enhancement.
I managed to brave the cruel and punishing color changes long enough to click the button and was rewarded with an interesting session of nostalgia and exploration.
i didn't even realise there was a button link to click. I thought the landing page was it. Let me go back..
Ahh yeah, the button is below the fold on mobile! Bad design, there.
I did the same and did not even think about it until i read this!
I liked the idea but it made it impossible to read the explanation of the experience.
I loved it. Don't be a wet blanket.
