       | A few observations:
       | 
       | 1. I realize part of the purpose of this site is to demonstrate
       | the functionality, but it would do that just as well if not
       | better with subtler animations.
       | 
       | 2. It's _quite disappointing_ that the site neither tones down
       | the animations for prefers-reduced-motion, nor makes any mention
       | of accessibility. What little discussion I found on GitHub was
       | dismissive. Of course, users of the library _can theoretically_
       | use it responsibly, but they probably won't without some
       | consideration directly built in to the library itself.
       | 
       | 3. Subtler animations would probably also elicit less negativity.
       | I know, it's HN, and this kind of project showing up here has an
       | proverbial "kick me" sign, but do I think it would get more
       | positive attention.
       | 
       | 4. Less important, but it looks like the project has been around
       | for a while, so it's not _entirely_ surprising that it isn't
       | built around (a polyfill for) Shared Element Transitions[1]. I'd
       | expect a library like that will have greater longevity. It _is
       | surprising_ not to see something like that under discussion at
       | all.

       | More importantly, none of the suggested navigation patterns
       | create any value for end users. Is there anyone who wished that
       | web page navigation was slower, less predictable, and harder to
       | discover?

       | plain old HTML, but I acknowledge that this is not sexy.
