GuiLite: Small, cute GUI effects you can reuse

Probably a poor choice for a demo. Shouldn't be using any demo material which would cause you to pay more attention to the content than the tech.

That's just your brain on HN misery mode, where all earthly concerns bow in vague allegiance to business logic that may not even exist.

It's also wrong in principle: memorable demos remain the most culturally-significant standalone things associated with tech since the 1960s.

Those memorable demos were called things like "The Mother of all Demos" not "Cute things [...]"

Superficially 'bad' demos also work like this.

Getting people talking about your stuff because they're motivated enough to have a pineapple-on-pizza type of argument over the demo is canny and bigtechs do this deliberately.

"Did anyone notice <demo>? LOL and WTF" is why we're communicating now.
