This is cool but was hard to read because I think it lacks some context... so "one of my friends" made a site where anyone could toggle a checkbox on a large canvas of checkboxes?
And you (author?) set up a script to automatically toggle a bunch of them at a at a time to anime a short video of Jake Gyllenhaal?
Was this done via rendering the site and toggling appropriate coordinates, or through an endpoint/API?
author here! I mostly assumed the reader had some context for this blog around omcb since it had gone viral and I posted it in circles already familiar, but looking back that wasn't a great decision. I'll likely revise this blog soon as there's a few other things I thought I didn't explain well. thanks for your feedback!
Sorry to go meta, but this is the first site I've visited that actively fights back when I try to zoom out (or in, but the text is already very big by default)! I'm wondering if it's deliberate (why??) or a side effect of something else.
The site uses "font-size: calc(1.5vw + 1.5vh);" or some variant, for most of the sizes, which has the effect to lock the size for everything to the size of the viewport, regardless of zoom.
hi! This is mostly due to my opinions around scaling but I didn't realize it impacted zoom so much, I'm not primarily a web dev. I'll change this to conform soon.
