A developer rant against the ubiquitous 'scroll fade' web design trend, where page elements fade in as they scroll into view. The author argues it's tacky, often demanded last-minute by stakeholders, and raises real concerns: accessibility issues for users with vestibular disorders, cognitive overload, cross-platform inconsistency, and negative impact on Core Web Vitals like LCP. The post crowdsources practical arguments to push back against scroll fade requests, while humorously suggesting developers collectively pretend the technique is now illegal.
