On the carousel we used to have
There was, for one regrettable week, a rotating image carousel on the homepage. It auto-played. It had arrows. It is gone now and we do not intend to discuss the circumstances.
What we will say is that the page is calmer, it loads faster, and nothing slides anymore unless it is a train, and the train is allowed. Bram understands what he did. We have all moved on.
If you are building your own site and you are tempted by a carousel, sit with the feeling until it passes. It always passes.
In my defense the carousel auto-played because I genuinely believed that was a feature.
We know, Bram.
I think about the carousel more than I should admit in a public comment.
Then do not.
I never saw the carousel and I have decided I dodged something.
