There's something about this page that slowed my macbook air to a crawl. Using Firefox here. Anyone knows what it is?

It's a Three.js website (you can click the X at the top to go to the main site). I tested it on an old Mac so it should be fine...? Thanks for letting me know.

Edit: Made a change to improve performance when a page is activated (paused Three.js rendering), and here's a markdown version: https://tuckerconnelly.com/management-leadership.md

Would love to access a text-only version of this.

Same. OP can you please provide a text alternative?

All I get is: Application error: a client-side exception has occurred (see the browser console for more information).

Odd, I wonder why. Oh well.

I’d read it if the site would let me do so.

Works okay in Safari Reader mode.

Why should I have to rely on reader mode to see html in a browser?
jldugger
You dont have to, you could just flag it and move on
tuckerconnelly
What issue were you running into?

I don’t know, it works now (ios).

First time it just showed some untraditional looking navigation that I couldn’t get past. This time the content actually displayed.

The font rendering is poor, blurry on edges of the letters, even if I increase the font size (which works poorly anyway because the thin column container doesn't scale, keeps its width)

The 3D site is fun and all, but I’d really love a plaintext version. The content seems great but inaccessible

The content seems really worthwhile - the web design makes it unreadable. Sure it looks pretty and shiny, but it's brutal on the eyes when you're trying to read it. Which rather defeats the entire purpose.

Readwise Reader is IMHO the best of the many options for capturing such content and leaving the fugly surface behind.

Use your browser's Reader mode

A list of those books and resources would be appreciated.

With iOS Safari in lockdown mode:

> Application error: a client-side exception has occurred (see the browser console for more information).

Was the use of JS for plaintext rendering intended to slow web crawlers?

Background goes black when resizing the window, turning the text near-black on black. Can't select/highlight the text to make it readable either.
tuckerconnelly
Thank you for pointing these out, fixed both of these issues :)

Would you work for a company run by a “CEO GPT” AI trained on management and leadership books? I wouldn’t be surprised if it outperformed many human CEOs.
