This is the first web UI I've seen in years that isn't copypaste trash. Beautiful design and interaction elements here.

It took 8 seconds to fully load and then the tab locked up on my (admittedly low-RAM ) Chromebook...

Unfortunately the text rendering is terrible on my external monitor (looks ok on the MBP's retina screen).

Came here looking for this comment. One of the most aesthetically pleasing things I've seen in a decade.

I gave up on trying it out because I found the UI to be genuinely awful.

Same here, I can't scroll smoothly at all even when I try (Windows mouse setting set to 15 lines per scroll tick)

They mention they’re working on a mobile UI.. but man using the current UI on mobile is horrible.

...and I can't play Cyberpunk 2077 on my macbook. Outside of sales/utilities (money,healthcare,etc.) I don't know where this notion of "having to develop for low specced machines" game from for web.

At least they tried something different.

I wish they hadn’t

Well I'm not expecting to run the model, but being able to simply browse a website to learn about what they've released doesn't seem like a massive ask. I'm not talking about 512 megabytes here, it's a regular up-to-date supported device that can browse 99.99% of the modern web without any issues.

It's pretty horrible performance even on my two year Windows laptop with 16GB of RAM, I could try on my M1 Macbook too but the juice just isn't worth the squeeze for me at this point.

Yeah I see that - definitely a divisive choice.
