With error pages this nice, you might actually want to introduce some bugs into your sites ;P

(Coming soon to Kitten… having a bit of Friday fun.) :)

Kitten 500 error page. Has a cute illustration of a kitten playing with a ball of violet yarn. The 500 text is in deep pink, the error “ReferenceError: pageNotFoundErrorTemplate is not defined” is in dark violet. Underneath, there is a stack trace section showing stack frames and the error location in a neat list.
Screenshot of Kitten 404 Page Not Found page. Large illustration of cute kitten looking at you sites on 404 in deep pink and “Page not found” in dark violet.

Too colorful for people with eye strain (like me) I guess from the left screenshot

@martijn Ah, interesting… would the option to have them in black and white help? Or…

Yeah, or just adjust the brightness for an accessible mode (alternative stylesheet maybe)

They are cute, but... Does that improve people actually paying attention to them? I think to some extent. Something that catches attention, the attention actually is used. But if it's "same old" it just gets ignored.

@JigmeDatse Donno… I know they make me happy and that’s one of my success criteria for what I make :)

That seems fair. I mean... If you are doing work that doesn't make you happy, you really should reconsider the work you're doing. And you don't seem like you would stick with something not making you happy for that long. Unless the reason is you have a vision, and the coding is just going poorly.

I could just work on improving these error pages for days but I’m going to stop here for now. I’m pretty happy with how they are now for the time being.

(Trying to learn not to go down rabbit holes.) :)

Screenshot of browser showing a 500 error in a Kitten app . A cute little kitten plays with a ball of yarn (illustration). Heading: 500 ReferenceError: ONE_HOUR_IN_MILLISECONDS is not defined. Underneath, there is a stack trace with the first section visible titled “From your app”. Below this is a syntax highlighted code snippet showing the line of code with the error as well as a look-around of the 3 lines of code to either side. It also states which scope the error was encountered in and its location (source file, error line, and error column). This is repeated for the prior stack frames.

that's good, but wouldn't children prefer to choose their own illustrations?
