good concept, terrible execution.
flash at its worst.
- Heckapoo0
I was on the team who made this site, responsible for the design. I'd love it if you (jevad) could articulate why the execution is terrible? It is very helpful to us when people can explain their dislike.

- I actually thought it was one of the best executions I've ever seen.monospaced

i think the execution is good enough (i'd not have readibilty fonts turned on though)
- Jnr_Madison0
I think the execution is fine too, but far too much loading going on all the time. I'm on a pretty fast connection and I'm still waiting a while.

Yeah, Jesse is a good friend of mine - works over in the surface group at MS.
We really wanted to explore some different forms of interaction and so far people either love it or hate it. At least i can chalk it up to experience gained.
- I like the approach and the design. The light cursor is not necessary thoughal_la

not only do I like that site. But those houses are TITS!!! Since I said something nice, can I have one for free?
- jfletcher0
ha, I work about 15 feet from Jesse. I could almost spit on him.... in fact....
- Heckapoo0
You can have two! - but only after he finishes mine (yeah right... maybe someday)

Load times are long, but I doubt you could get from that with everything that's happening there.
great stuff.
- Heckapoo0
We are working to bring load times down. Part of the problem is an architecture program called VectorWorks - we are working on importing the house models into 3DSMax but are struggling with preserving texture mapping/material libraries.. once we get this we can do away with the current frame based system and go pure FLV. Should reduce load times dramatically.

I hit return a couple of times because i didn't know what was happening, and was left with a plank of wood.
then i closed it because there was nothing else i could do.

I thought we had squashed that bug... weird. Can you replicate it?
- sputnik20
like the initial vertical cards w/numbers effect on a purely tactile level, but beyond that the flow and navigation is really difficult to use.
plus it takes for EVAH to load each project
- Heckapoo0
I've often wondered if the experience is too linear? (flow: cards > project model (rotating) > detail images)
- killerqueen0
The navigation is a pain in the ass.
Poor consistency and usability.
What is the point of the Glowing Circle following my mouse? Just to annoy me?
- killerqueen0
The inclusion of the "Blog and news" thing is just confusing and disorienting.
- monospaced0
I'm in the "Love It" camp myself. Great balance of animation and usability. I think it's one of the best websites I've seen in a long time.
