  Feels so strange to recognize what's out the window. I hope this cannot be used to find where they live!

  Nice website for sure. Still no forgiving for bringing electron to the world.

    It is a marvelous thing. A beautiful app platform. Suddenly, one day, I was no longer Linux user without app. Linux app was standard. Everybody has Linux app. I had dual-boot Linux computer to play Valorant on Windows and to live normal life on Linux. And I use Mac at work. And it is all glorious because I no longer think about which is which. And there are people who are saying it is not amazing, but it is. I can hit Ctrl-R and the application refreshes. What an astounding tool.

    For me the great app platforms:

    * the terminal

    * the iPhone/Android

    * the web

    And suddenly, the web is brought to the desktop and it is cross-platform. Everything is here on my Linux. It is the Year of the Linux Desktop and everyone is complaining about web platform. But it is web platform that has brought it here. Praise be the forces that made this happen. This man has a great website, and if he has made Electron then he is always welcome to me.

    I can’t find anything better than Electron/Tauri for building cross-platform desktop apps. The browser engine is quite efficient and performant for building complex interfaces

      You have an interesting definition of "efficient and performant".

    Electron might be a good example of worse is better.

    Electron was too good when I first saw it, and gave the "Javascript everywhere" for the desktop apps. Then quickly felt like a bloatware.

      Like it or not, it was a significant achievement

    To be fair; Node is involved in this too.

  Is he even happy? The website mood is so sad.

    The stark landscape and accented voiceover seem to be inspired by the documentary Happy People: A Year in the Taiga by Werner Herzog: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psnY17CImaQ

    It feels like it's trying to evoke Bioshock vibes or a similar retro-punk dystopia.

    In retrospective

    > In addition, Flash has not performed well on mobile devices

    H5 animations performs much worse on all devices.

    Flash animations like Felix's can run well on a Pentium III processor with 64MB memory.

    Can we reverse engineer the prompt? Can we reverse engineer the meta prompt? Can we reverse engineer the meta^n prompt?

      Better yet, can we reverse engineer the engineer?

  I found myself inside a simulation simulating simulations of a simulation.

  And it was good.

  Fyi, autoplays sound. Generally an unacceptable UI decision imho.

      I didn't click anything, the sound just started playing while there was a loading animation

        What browser are you using? IE6?

        Just kidding. But you must have clicked somewhere. Audio autoplay hasn't been a thing on the web for years (thankfully).

          When you tap the screen on ipad while the page still loads (and doesnt show anything), it plays sound before you click enter

          It auto played for me in iOS Safari with no interaction

            Not for me. So there’s that. But tapping anywhere on screen does start the sound.
