I love the handles over the cards when you hover too.. but it makes one strangely think they're draggable too.

Thanks for your input Stephen.

I agree and, as I mentioned in the article, there are "many schools of thought on this from the standpoint of usability".

Looks nice. I'm seeing a wobbly flicker with image hover/scale effect in Chrome in Win 10.

A site that comes to mind is https://pwa.rocks .. I found some great examples there.

Too bad it's offline ATM. I'd like to check it out.

Are you serious about "just steal them"? I hope not. Usual I can find something usable at one of the many free stock sources, otherwise I use Getty images for premium stock.

Nice theme. Added it to my http://theme.cards curation.I especially like the big photo blocks, but the serif font in the content is a little boring.

I like the StackOverflow reputation model, and don't think of it as "elitist" at all. On SO, users earn reputation over time by providing well thought out answers, and asking good questions that are relevant to the broader communtity.

Dribbbles model (last time I checked) was to only allow users to post if they're already accepted by an existing member. That seems more elitist, i.e. "It's not what you know, it's who you know".

Yeah, I agree. Seems like they swapped vertical scrolling with horizontal which doesn't seem as natural to me. I had thought that the intent of the redesign was to make products more discoverable, but I think the opposite has happened. The "upcoming" page is no longer accessible from home (which probably doesn't matter since it's known as the PH "graveyard"), and the keyword search still only shows featured products in the results.
