David debugged: granular.work demo animation pacing and layout bugs

David gave detailed real-time feedback during a firms demo animation build, catching pacing issues, a truncated candidate grid, and a photo-less candidate spider web.


David commissioned a firms demo animation for granular.work and gave iterative feedback throughout the build session:

its all moving way too fast. must slow down a lot. and the recruiter message sent into the chat is too long. it should literally just be something like hey heres the onedrive with the candidates that applied for x role

When a spider-web visualisation appeared with "Candidate Ananya..." as the center node:

for that spider web thing, the center should be her photo with her name above/below, not 'candidate ananya...'

He also caught a layout overflow:

also the grid showing where the 247 candidates land is truncated on the right hand side of the screen. that needs to be fixed

On the candidate writeup quality:

the animations now have been stripped of the technical richness that makes ananya and the other candidates powerful. you need to balance technical language

And flagged a branding issue with Clerk's default auth UI appearing instead of the custom design:

and also why are we using clerks design and not our own bespoke sign up design?
