  • 2L84ME, on 10/12/2007, -2/+42Whilst rounded corners are commonly associated with "Web 2.0" But from the looks of it, this site definitely isn't Web 2.0, despite it's feeble attempt at it with the missing "e" in the name and the "beta". Do sites like these even need a 'beta?'
    • KillerJ59J, on 10/12/2007, -4/+262L84ME, you are right. This site looks like crap, and it's not that great at doing what it is supposed to do. Also, any webdesigner should know how to do this on their own, it's not that hard. I buried it as lame.
    • pwill, on 10/12/2007, -2/+28Also, the rounded corners look like *****. It's much easier to make a 5K PNG of a rounded corner on your own, and then flip it and reverse it.
    • ngmcs8203, on 10/12/2007, -15/+3I digg this purely for the fact that I have yet to see dynamically generated gradients on the net.
    • ngmcs8203, on 10/12/2007, -9/+4Digg me down if you like, but tell me where I can find gradient, fluid rounded corner boxes...

      "I've been barred from commenting on any digg stories ever since it became clear that all my comments were just thinly disguised Missy Elliot songs."

      Reminds me of http://xkcd.com/c153.html .
    • lazydrumhead, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7man. their rounded corner logo is aliased like a mofo.
    • Nearoschyth, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1@ngmcs8203
      The solution is that the corners don't gradate. There are three sections: a top (solid color), a middle (gradient from top color to bottom color), and a bottom (solid color). The corners are contained entirely in either the top or bottom section so there is no need for them to gradate.

      Otherwise making fluid gradients can just be done in Javascript. Takes some subtraction, calculation, and hex knowledge.
    • randomgeek, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2This may not be "the best" method or page out there for creating the next "Web 2.0 Web Application" (heh, my buzz words match the submitters) but this is certainly good enough for the kids to make their site look nice who don't give a crap, or don't have to give a crap, about clean code. It's also a good start in seeing how and why html and css work together.

      So sure, you can bash the name, the bad color scheme, etc but there is a use for this. Not everyone is, or needs to be, a web designer.
    • bsalus01, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1except that the 2.0 style is to use javascript. this is more like web 1.1
    • phatalbert, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Haha, this is either brilliant satire, or absolutely retarded.

      Funny how those two so often go together.
  • latova, on 10/12/2007, -4/+13A lot of these don't seem to work properly in firefox anyways.
  • jiminoc, on 10/12/2007, -18/+10dude, having rounded f'ing corners doesn't make your site "web 2.0"

    good ***** lord already people!
    • jiminoc, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3so I can assume whoever digs me down thinks rounded corners make your site web 2.0. Look what DIGG has become.
  • andrewry, on 10/12/2007, -1/+22This site is absolutely horrible. If your site is for rounded corners, make it look good, all these images are choppy.

    Also, "web 2.0" isn't the design aspect of a site. It's not hard to understand.
  • Charron, on 10/12/2007, -2/+16*reads description*

    Dear God, if I was playing Buzzword Bingo, I woulda won.
  • wvannus, on 10/12/2007, -9/+3Teh background. It's puke green.
  • toolboxnz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Those rounded corners look really ugly to me. Having to generate images, and the associated additional download overhead, can be a pain, but at least you can get some nice anti-aliasing going on.
  • geronimo, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3Actually this is pretty useful despite all the buzzwords. The interface isn't perfect but it can come in very handy.
  • JimmyLin, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10Spiffycorners.com is much better for rounded corners, since it anti-aliases them. Anyway, I prefer using one image for the four corners because that way it doesn't make the html code bloated. Even though html code loads faster than images, if you optimize the images then there won't be a big difference.

    The person who designed this site obviously has no sense of design.
  • judgeFire, on 10/12/2007, -1/+28Rounded corners are so 1981:

    • JavertHolmes, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13I'm pretty impressed you were able to pull a story like this out of the ether.

      I say this without sarcasm!
  • NanoStuff, on 10/12/2007, -6/+4I hate rounded corners with a passion. Seeing round corner markup makes me want to stick an icepick in my cerebellum.
    • Dankness, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3by all means, please do. I'll even provide the pick
    • Rayor, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Then why are you on digg? digg has rounded corners.
  • StantheBat, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10"Disruptive, innovative, revolutionary..."

    Do words mean things anymore? There's a tube in my bathroom right now which claims to contain a 'whitening EXPERIENCE'. I thought it was a toothpaste, but apparently it's an 'experience'... Disruptive? Are we really meant to imagine people abandoning their cars on the freeway upon encountering a website with rounded corners?

    Also, anybody who drops vowls in an attempt to be interestng is probably a lamr.

  • sensibledriver, on 10/12/2007, -9/+1You lose credibility poking fun at something when you fail to fully grasp the concept.

    GRADE: F

  • DeltaX, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1Whatever.
  • jimchristian, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6I personally think that Nifty Corners (http://www.html.it/articoli/nifty/index.html) is much nicer.
  • BioCS.Nerd, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8"and... Web 2.0".

    Come closer (so I can smack you).
  • KyleMistry, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Egh. I thought Web 2.0 meant that it looked nice and smooth. This looks like someone with one arm took a hacksaw to it.
  • BuddyChrist, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8"Copyright © 2007, RoundedCornr.com. All rights reserved."
    He's ahead of his time...
  • Bean945, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Ironically, round is the way forward.
  • JanusAmon, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4This site is so much better...

    http://wigflip.com/cornershop/
  • jalenack, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Man, this must be Digg or something....
  • Dotnetsky, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Stu Nicholls' seminal work on rounded corners without images is so much more professional than this junk. Not only that, he has an elegant sense of CSS Style and color matching, and he can spell.
  • strykstaguy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9http://spiffycorners.com doesn't use images, or Javascript.
    • bbene, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Seriously, I heart spiffycorners.com. It's simple, easy to impliment, and cross browser compatible.
    • dandiemer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1agreed. roundercorner (despite being from the future, as evident in its 2007 copyright) looks like total crap.
    • NoMoreNicksLeft, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I dislike mucking up the markup or javascript just to do this. Opera needs to come out with a border-radius property in a hurry. And IE, it just needs to look ugly. More people will switch.

      (And you Apple people, come on already and roll -webkit-border-radius into a Safari update already, would ya?!)
  • TroubleInMind, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2buried. poor results. i use nifty corners libraries, try http://www.html.it/articoli/niftycube/index.html
  • tybris, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3people...
    it was no big deal 10 years ago
    it was no big deal during the .com hype
    it was no big deal after the .com hype
    it is no big deal during the 2.0 hype
    it will not be a big deal after the 2.0 hype
    it will never be a big deal

    'Round corners' is solved.

    Stop posting.
    • toddhenkel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Actually thought we wouldn't see another rounded corners posting. It's been a long while!

      Have to see who won the office pool on how long it would take...
  • Dankness, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The whole rounded corner thing is just something for the developers to show that "hey we spent the time to do this" hoping that the viewer will gather that the rest of the site has as much thought in it. Which it should, but commonly does not. The 10 different font sizes, colors, random placement of forms, buttons, horrible logo, etc. makes me give this an F for farked up.

    Remember that people were meant to be comfortable with what you are trying to teach/show.
    • toddhenkel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1You mean the content means something? The internets is not all about rounded corners, browser hacks and other CSS magic?
  • jhaven, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Google does it for you, too:

    http://google.com/groups/roundedcorners?c=999999&bc=white&w=4&h=4&a=tr

    c is the color of the corner
    bc is the background color
    w is width
    h is height
    a is angle. tr is top right, tl is top left, br is bottom right, bl is bottom left

    Well, it does the corners, not the gradient...
  • ericmoritz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This uses a technique that really adds alot of html code to your source code. I created a javascript library to keep your html tidy.

    Enjoy
  • tunac, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Omg all cornrs are not rounded :D
  • fugazi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1http://www.curvycorners.net/

    Better than that site by far...
  • kaniz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I thought this site was a web 2.0 parody.....
  • JadB, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This site is definately not Web2.0, where's at least the AJAX that would automatically generate the code without having to submit anything and seeing the design changing right then and there... but come on give it's creator some credit. Look how many diggs it got and imagine how many newbies it can help! Hasn't each one of us, one day, needed some kind of tool to automate a tedious process that we don't exactly know about or feel like learning to just use once? I know there are different other tools that can be as beneficial if not more, but, euh, remind me, how many search engines do we have?
    Verdict: 1 thumb down for Web2.0 wannabe + 1 thumb up for the new tool around the block = neutral
  • nru451, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The author is clearly joking about Web 2.0. Disruptive, innovative, *and* revolutionary? That's so satire. But misconstrued humor aside, this is an easy-to-use tool for newcomers to website design.
