Last year my boss made me develop a way to "creatively" feature ads on our online magazine.

It was a piano keyboard. Yes, I created a pure HTML and CSS piano. Every key had a small title, when HOVERED emitted a sound (tuned on D btw ) and when clicked opened a pop up with the ad content. We tried a black and white piano and also a rainbow-like coloured one.

I strongly advised against everything. We're small and I have a good relationship that soured because he thought I was just being lazy.

Guess what happened? Advertisers saw the live piano and ran away. Hours and hours of development thrown away.

Please. Trust your front-end developer.

    Sounds like a fun project to try. Shame it is useless :/

    It's soo frustrating when our work gets wasted like that... I do know and understand.
    Even if we are paid for that. It's a shame.
    But then we are seen like the pessimist of the situation -_-

    Have to say that my boss trusts me now more than ever before...
