    :root { filter: invert(100%); background: white; display: grid; }

    img { filter: invert(100%); }

    Gets you a little way there

    Didn't this previously have scroll locking to each section of the page? I much prefer it without the locking

    Love it! The character is definitely coming across, something that not many sites make an effort in doing. Great stuff

    Looks great. I'll be honest, I was kinda surprised it was a Webflow site when I started inspecting the code. The only thing I'd add is that the header background should have a default background colour as before the image loads in the site looks empty

    I think the main thing is the hover states, they could do with a bit more contrast/difference just so it's clearer that I'm hovering something I can click. The turning images are really cool, but if they are clickable then maybe they should scale towards the screen too? The link and button hover states are very subtle as well, darkening more or slight piece of movement will help tell the user they're pointing/hovering the right thing.

    Would focus indicators be possible? I tabbed through and couldn't see any focus rings or anything to indicate where I was. Probably a design choice, which is cool but this tool might help cater for someone using a keyboard as well as a mouse https://github.com/ten1seven/what-input

    This is a real sharp looking site, speedy too. Certainly feels like it was designed around the content. I have some really minor points but I don't want to just throw them up flippantly, also they are so minor that I don't think it would make much difference

    Really stylish and really fun, can tell a lot of effort went into this to be expressive with the business. My only gripe is the scrolling, I could immediately tell my scrolling was being highjacked by javascript. Feels like I'm scrolling through treacle
