Please don't post like this to HN. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.

You may not owe websites that you feel look like shit better, but you owe this community better if you're participating in it.

Modern internet consists basically of two parts, amazon and google ads. Anything else is either a side show or a place to put ads on. All the linking happens between google ads and amazon. It's no longer a web, it's all a funnel.

Putting commerce on the internet was the best and the worst thing that happened to it.

I truly loathe the term "frutiger aero"

I do remember using similar techniques 20 years ago to imitate Aero and Aqua in Flash and CSS though.
