  I have noticed on occasion websites with a missing button. Now I know what happened. Finally, closure.

  There's a Chrome Extension he made based on this: https://anatolyzenkov.com/stolen-buttons/button-stealerI used it for a bit until I realized... I probably didn't want a third party reading all my traffic. But I did like having it for a bit.(It is linked from the page, but given how the whole page is CTAs... it's hard to notice!)

  Too bad they're just static, as the website doesn't copy the hover state or the on-click animations.

  I may have missed one by looking at this huge dump, but NONE of the "buttons" I saw there actually looked/felt like a button. Something I can feel that I press it down and it gives proper visual feedback, like a little 3D effect.I'm old-school. :)

  For inspiration, I prefer this one:https://uiverse.io/buttons

  I had my button stolen but it's not in this inventory. The perpetrator is still out there somewhere parading it or selling it on the black market. I'm still losing sleep over it. I lost my job, wife and car. Still praying for justice to be served one day.I reported it to the FBI but still no response from them. This shit is serious guys and when will it end?

  10000 buttons and not a single engaging Call To Action

  Surprising how not one of these made my heart beat faster.

  That's rude. Give them back

  What a lovely idea.I hope there will be some kind of online museum of web design trends before the web turns into something else, and maybe paradigms such as "buttons" will stop being as interesting any more.I guess I should Jetzt loslegen just like the site's author :DMaybe something like tvtropes.com, but for web application design, and of course with visual examples.

  I wish there was a way to exclude the plain ones (single color rectangle with rounded corners and text).

  Are we in flat design for way too long or is this a recent idea and the collection is also very recent?

  I can’t look, so many arrows poorly aligned with text - how can these developers live with themselves!
• leoc
  It would be lovely to see some of those converted into enamelled metal badges.

  Is this as easy as calling getComputedStyle on a target element or is there more to it? I love the idea and I want to experiment with automating similar.
• sshasan
  Oh wow! Curious if you have the collection indexed by the year/month you picked it. Would love to see how button designs and types have changed over the years.
• finger
  It would be interesting if it was possible to sort them by similarity, width, height, shape, color, etc.
• armchairhacker
  You're visiting boring websites. I only saw one barely skeuomorphic button
• Retr0id
  Interesting choice to hotlink all the images! The side-effect is that some are dead now.
• khazhoux
  Can anyone comment on the legality of this? By the number I see, this would no longer be classified as simple possession, but likely as intent to distribute.
• bnj
  Great, how are we supposed to use those websites now? No wonder web is breaking down
• hmokiguess
  You should deduplicate and offer a cluster view with similarity distance
• t-sauer
  610 buttons are anchor elements, and only 285 are actually real buttons.

  People will do any useless thing to self-promote.

  You made my day. What a joyful, weird, fun projec!

  He's as obsessed with buttons as "Mr. Lossoff" the "Button Man" in "A Nero Wolfe Mystery” episode “The Mother Hunt”, where Archie drops in on "Mister Lossoff’s Distinguished Buttons” in the garment district of New York:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-QgWOSVKm4&t=724s

  So few of them look clickable.
• iefbr14
  It reminds me a bit of the toolbar mania in the nineties :)

  So many different looking buttons. Wish there were more standards.

  This is like the late 80s/early 90s cyberspace idea... Imagine you're walking through a 3D ramp and all these buttons are yelling at you from all over the atmosphere... Login here! Start here! Contact us...
