What’s really breaking the web in 2025?
Toasts are out, outages are in, and animations aren’t what you think.

Another week, another round of digital theatrics. GitHub cancelled toasts, Cloudflare gave the internet a surprise power nap, and Motion explained why your favourite animations are secretly eating CPU like a student at a braai.
If you enjoy the web’s meltdowns more than you should, read on.
 | A recent update to GitHub Primer notes that “GitHub no longer uses toasts because of their accessibility and usability issues.” Luckily, the internet is known for its civil and respectful discussions, so naturally, we saw zero grandstanding or heated arguments about which company, technology, framework, or community is currently ruining the web. |
 | Not to be outdone by Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft, Cloudflare slipped in as a last-minute nominee for "killing half the internet (again) in 2025". |
 | The team at Motion wrote an amazing guide on animation performance, explaining in great detail why there is such a massive chasm in the performance profiles of different types of animations that seem almost identical at face value. |
