The Future Browser Manifesto

 April.1st.2008 • 12:00AM 18 Comments

This is the story of a guy who wants a better web, a guy that wants a web where the only limits are people’s creativity. It is time to move on. It is time to believe in the future1. Maybe… it’s time to laugh? Look at the date silly people.

My fellow designers, developers and general web aficionados; we are embarking on an incredible journey, one that in the future will be looked at as a necessary step towards the growth of our industry as a whole. We are seeing new strides in design, new experiments in bringing rich interactivity to our world and new minds joining the fight on a daily basis. It is truly a wonderful time to be working in this industry and it’s only going to get better.

I usually just say I will and then forget after realizing how much work it would take to gather all the screenshots. But no more! With the power of ScreenFlow I shall finally bring to you a very casual walkthrough of the design behind Distortion.

This is the story of a guy, a design and a domain. After almost a year of nothing substantial, the domain decided to take matters into its own hands and promptly beat the guy into submission; telling him to put the damn sniper rifle down and finish the design he started.

It’s been 7 years, 5 months and 23 days. Never have I felt so drained after preparing a website for this domain before, but this really brings light to the phrase, “you get what you put in.” I’ve had long hiatuses before. However, none have seemed as long or drawn out as this one, and with this post and this new design I am proud to put an end to it. So, let’s start at the top shall we? I’m sure you’d like to know a little more about the 25th version of Avalonstar ...
