A website to explore UX tools and the first thing you see when you load the page is a popup asking to take a survey. I haven't even browsed your website yet.

View on HN

I instantly thought it was a parody website for what the websites have come to nowadays. Where is the cookie popup? Where is my back button hijacking? Where is my adblock warning!?

The back button should be solved now, and I'm just trying to get some general feedback. Or maybe I'm creating a meme website :)

Plus it breaks the back button. Shambles.

What browser are you using? I think it is the root url re-direct, but still looking into it.

The problem is the HN post links to https://sleekui.com/ which immediately redirects to https://sleekui.com/category/design - when you hit the back button, it tries to go back to the homepage but then is redirected again.

So it's not possible to get back to HN using the back button after clicking into your site.

One easy fix is to edit the HN submission link (if it lets you) to link to /category/design instead of the homepage.

I have pushed an update to solve the navigation issue.

You can close it.

You ask for feedback on usability, someone gives it to you, and your response is "you're using it wrong."

I didn't mean it that way :) It's a one question form, with a general question about the UI industry.

How did you mean it exactly? Did you genuinely think that the commenter didn’t know your popup could be closed?

We all say dum things including me :)

Please don't be a jerk on HN, regardless of what's in another comment. Especially when someone's sharing their work, it's important to be respectful and avoid aggressiveness.

I pointed out earlier that I shouldn't have made that comment.

I didn't mean to pile on!
