Wayforward Machine

I have access to a secret app that generates websites that look like in the year 2046.

Actually, there are big problems.

  1. Site doesn't work due to huge amount of pop ups.
  2. Clicking X causes another pop up.
  3. Fake pop ups that don't work. Scanning your retina, thumbprint, payment, everywhere.
  4. One pop up stops after requesting election records.
  5. One pop up doesn't work even inputting the correct credit card and CVC.
  6. There's no limit to credit card numbers or CVC.
  7. This website is a joke!

The funniest part is when you use the BioloKey pop up. Both scans won't do anything, they're just here to joke you. They're called "dummy things".

Sounds like my favorite Dystopian novel lol. Random website demanding retina, thumbprint, and demanding to know your favorite brand of slipper? Sign me up! Next, it'll have a pop-up asking for your first born or the name of your childhood imaginary friend. Can't wait!

Honestly, it's less of a joke and more of a cybersecurity nightmare waiting to happen. Fake pop-ups fostering a false sense of security with flashy biometric sensors? Yeah, that's how data breaches start. Could just be a tactic to get users accustomed to inputting sensitive information.
Always remember folks, if it looks sketchy, it probably is. Keep your personal info safe and yeah, don't count on the BioloKey pop up to lock your digital doors, lol.

Biometric authentication on a pop-up? Rookie move, so 2020. Couldn't they have added a voice analysis feature too, you know for that 'In the year of 2046' aesthetics? It's not even close to authentic future-proof visuals if scanning the very essence of our physical form is all you got. My mom's fridge probably has a more advanced OS asking for her coffee preferences every morning.

Man, that BioloKey pop up is a total riot! I mean, who needs retina and thumbprint scans on a website, right? When it popped up, for a moment I actually thought my computer had turned into a Cyberpunk prop. 😂 Guess we now know what trolling will look like in the future. Yamaha!

And what's about the term "Drone pick-up document"?

I've encountered it too! I bet it's another one of those annoying pop-ups aimed at grabbing your attention. Fun fact: 'Drone pick-up document' is usually a fishing scheme - it tries to get you to click, and voila another pop-up!

Drone pick-up document? Wth? Like, we gonna order docs n a drone zips it over or something? Sounds whack man. :/

That's most likely a gimmick. In the web design world, it's an attempt to simulate a futuristic interface like drone deliveries, which is a hot topic these days. But when poorly executed, it adds to the mess rather than elevating user experience. Always remember, a good design is user-centric and doesn't rely on gimmicks.

Drone pick-up document? U mean those dumb pop-ups that hwk you to manually download stuff using drones? Lolol. Who needs that in 2046, right? 😂😂

Ha, as if our credit card details weren't enough, now they want our documents via drones too. Cheers to the bright future of user experience!

Seriously 'Drone pick-up document'? Sounds some next level tech in website pop-ups. Imagine if real websites in 2046 turn out like this. Creepy man...

Drone pick-up document, huh? Maybe the drones land on your roof and scan your house to steal your docs!

Oh, 'Drone pick-up document' gotta be some futuristic pop up lol. Guess it's time they start bringing in drones for document verification too ha!

Another note. Here are some fake companies provided on this app: 1. Ministry of Truth (error 451: site temporarily unavailable for my/your own good) 2. Site Suspended (site temporarily supsended pending the outcome of legal proceedings) 3. BioloKey (forever securing your data with fake fingerprint or retina scans) 4. Access Denied (content unavailable beyond the firewall) 5. Whoa There (are you 18, birthday certificate, driver's license, and presidential election records, the 4th one never worked at all) 6. Twisted Eye (fake dystopian browser) 7. Unbranded (content unavailable in my political block, copyright extended for 200 years) 8. Content Truth Gateaway (see the truth, or continue with unverified info, the latter doesn't work) 9. Global Network Securities (neverending form asking for your f*cking info) 10. Special Offer (pay it, or prove it, both buttons ask you to scan your retina, which is fake) 11. Encrypted comment (finding a better way forward)

All brands have the same learn more button about Internet usage restrictions.

Wait. It’s satire, you guys. Clearly a satirical commentary on potential internet dystopias. Web designers, platform developers, app creators, all of us in tech need to take note of this. Let's not allow our digital spaces to become cocked up with fake PopUps and invasive security walls. Fight for a free internet!

Wake up!! Anyone else see Ministry of Truth and immediately think of Orwell's 1984? Bet it's a cheeky nod actually confirming our fears: we're facing a serious threat to our online freedom and privacy. 'logic proceedings'... 'content unavailable in my political block'... this ain't the future I want, man.

lol sounds like the internet from hell! BioloKey? More like Bio-No-Thank-You-Key. Who'd wanna put their retina and fingerprint data into a dodgy pop-up? Not me. If this is the future, count me out!

This sounds like an absolute nightmare of usability! Websites in 2046, huh? More like a page straight outta cyberpunk dystopia. Those 'error 451' and 'access denied' pages just scream censorship, don't they? The unending requests for personal info is concerning too. Looks like the creator was trying to make a point about privacy concerns.

Wait, is this.. is this supposed to be a joke? Or is this some kind of prophecy of things to come? Cuz if it is, I'm going back to newspapers and ham radios, screw this!

Sometimes I feel like the real world already has a hint of this kind of peculiar dystopian flavour. But seeing it dramatized in an app? Now that's some next-level craziness. Why would I want a sneak peek of a horrifying internet dystopia when I already got enough reminding of how much our society loves information (or misinfo for some cases)? Yikes!

This app seems like a comical but disturbingly effective critique of how modern web design could go awry. Although it's quite annoying, it could be seen as a dystopian Black Mirror-esque warning against further over-reliance and misuse of our online spaces. You gotta understand, it's not just a joke, but a necessary cautionary tale. Btw, kudos to whoever coded all those brands, must have been a blast.

Believe me, you're not alone in your disdain for this abomination of an app! A secret app that gives a dystopian view of the Internet in 2046? More like a 'what-not-to-do' guide for web design! This dystopian internet future is suffocating with relentless pop-ups, endless input requests, and website suspensions. But hey, who doesn't love a retina scan that doesn't work, right?

Lemme guess: it also asked for your firstborn and 100 gallons of unicorn tears before giving you access to see half a blog post, right? Sounds like the perfect internet of the future.

Sounds like they made a pop-up machine instead of a Wayforward Machine. Brutal stuff.

Man, this sounds like a nightmare, and whoever designed it knew exactly what they were doing. Part of me admires the audacity, but the other 99% of me hates it. If this is a glimpse into the future of the internet, I'm taking up knitting.

This has got to be the perfect representation of Murphy's Law. I mean, what could go wrong with unlimited credit card numbers, unlimited CVCs and a webpage made of pop-ups right? 😅

lol retina and thumbprint scans not working? Dude, you sure it's not because you're a robot? 😂🤖

This is gold standard for asshole design. Oh, you clicked X? Here’s another X for you to click! 🤣 But seriously, it’s the darkest pitch for where today’s intrusive advertising could take us. Let’s pray the real 2046 isn’t quite this apocalyptic.

Hmm, punt me on this, but doesn't that sound like the worst form of intrusive ads ever? You'd reckon they'd gotten their acts together by 2046. I'd suggest getting a pop-up blocker, but sounds like these pop-ups are next level trash! 👎

Wow, such a mess! Literally every click opens a new pop-up? This is insane!

There is a special offer pop up on the joke app.

The pop up asks you to pay your credit card, or when already paid, use it (or "prove it"). But both buttons do the same thing: ask you for your retina as an added confirmation, which never works, and...drumroll, this is a joke app!

Ugh, reminds me of the 'Future Predictor' website. It had a pop-up which asked you to fill-in your love interests for prediction. The catch? Even if you didn't, it'd still generate some BS using random names. Heck, I mean, why am I not surprised they've one-upped themselves now with retinal scans?!

so, you're saying I can't order my 2046 retro laser glasses through this app? FFS, where's my flying car and personal robot butler then??!

Really though, this app is a pure distillate of what NOT to do in web design. Excessive unnecessary pop-ups are a surefire way to alienate users and cheapen your product. Avoid at all costs!
