Pardon my dust! I just migrated my website to the fantastic Eleventy and am recording the redesign process of adopting my design system for our AI & Design Systems course.

Bullshit Overlays

Overlay Bullshit

It's 2014, and every website I visit hits me with some nonsense overlay. Stop it.

I'm sure they're effective.

And I could get people on the street to take my survey by threatening them with a claw hammer. That would be pretty effective too.

Check out Tab Closed; Didn't Read by Andy Beaumont (@drcongo), and read his thoughts on all of this nonsense. For more of my thoughts on this, check out Death to Bullshit.
