I waited on the page for 20 seconds before realizing it was already loaded and that I was supposed to scroll.
Update: Looks like they changed it so that the content slides up after a few seconds.
Me too
Yeah...I was like "well this is kind of a lame loader...its not even animated..."
Then like 15 seconds later I realized it wasn't a loader.
Haha, they changed it quickly.
Samara...
this from the studio that brought you controversial passive-aggressive poster campaign awhile back?
Suppose the messaging was Marketing Dept...
After World War II...
Nope. closed
LOL I did the exact same thing.
Thanks for sharing Murat this is really interesting. Airbnb obviously has a behemoth amount of resources to throw behind this thing so I'm curious what will come of it
Still sad Lapka ended up somewhere like AirBnb.
Cool idea, but the name is weird. Samara is a Russian city. Does anyone know why they use this name?
The vibe of this page made me think of Lapka, the team was Russian. Since Airbnb bought them last year it's likely linked. Especially considering that Samara will build hardware.
ah I see! in this case it makes sense :)
