    • Wow. just. wow. So smooth. It has the features you expect for editing and easy cloning, very impressive. I've been looking in to using some 3d css to spice up my resumé timeline,…

    • Holy hell, that's amazing. (Just repeating everyone else, but it deserves it.) Is there an "About" page? How was it built? What are future plans? This is so crazy impressive I…

    From 2 comments
    • I really love the hero unit. It's a great example of an animation that tells a short story, and gives you a feel for the app. First you see a flat rectangle with drag handles,…

  • Broken or flat on Chromium and Chrome in some setups

    From 3 comments
    • It's flat on chromium 28
      cdekok on HN
    • It is severely broken on Chromium. Ironically, his app works completely fine on Firefox (Canary), the browser he tried so hard to block.

    • can't seem to figure it out on chrome 29 on windows7. maybe I have a conflict or need bleeding edge chrome.

  • Browser whitelist blocks browsers that would otherwise work

    From 1 comment
    • Seriously, it's just ridiculous. There is no legitimate reason whatsoever to make hard browser whitelist like that in 2013 -- without button like "use anyway" or something. It…

  • VRML

    From 2 comments
    • This is really amazing... however we had something like that 15 years ago called VRML, and it probably was 1000 times faster. This is an incredible abuse of css, nevertheless…

    • I just had a VRML flash.
