Form Follows Function is a beautifully designed collection of interactive mini-experiences, coded in HTML5, and designed to work as flawlessly on mobile as on the desktop.

I really liked the Tree one for some reason.

It's interesting.
I'm not sure about the "form follows function" part, though.

These are inspiring! I wish there were words to accompany the demos.

Too slow; didn't bother.

Also, I loathe carousels.

Also also, if the entirety of Web 3.0 is going to end up trying to look like Windows Phone, I'm giving up the Web.

If you ignore the design of the website itself, it's a pretty fun collection of what HTML5 is capable of.

"designed to work as flawlessly on mobile as on the desktop."

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

Oh. This wasn't a joke.

Oh god.

People are saying this. For reals. And expect it to be true.

We're fucked.

I confess I only tried on a Nexus 5.

Well, it's delivered nicely.

It looks like a collection of old screen saver gimmicks, from the days of flying toasters, implemented in HTML5. To be fair, I'll admit I'm also very jaded.

The raining men one was fun :) I'm not a fan of the canvas element, in that it's not really accessible in the way that other HTML elements are. But the CSS transformations are fun.

Did anyone let The Scream run to an end (if it has an end)? My iPad screen kept dimming, and touching the scribbles seems to delete them in the touched spot.

I started it and went off to do a chore. It hasn't come to an end yet, but now I can recognize the scream.

This ran nicely on my last generation HTC One (in the Facebook browser of all things). I am on WiFi though. This is interesting, but it will be more interesting to see how these capabilities are used to solve problems or improve usability. This is more function follows form.
