If you have five minutes spare, could you please visit this link, wait 30 seconds, and then tell me if it loads anything?
THANKS!
@Edent That’s really cute! With a great message too. Great work ☺️
A few questions and some feedback! I’ll post in separate messages, if you don’t mind ☺️
@Edent Have you tested your images encoded with JPEGli as a progressive JPEG? I’ve found them to be roughly the same size as webP (I have a tool at https://github.com/jphastings/jpegli or brew install jphastings/tools/jpegli — but you’d need to compile it yourself for q=10!)
@Edent The type-as-it-arrives JavaScript is awesome! I’ll definitely be viewing the source when I get to a proper machine ☺️ What gave you the idea?
@Edent Some feedback (please ignore if you wish; you didn’t ask for it!):
The JavaScript *forcing* me to the bottom meant I couldn’t read the top until the end (cos I missed the page finishing loading 😅)
The Opus audio didn’t work on my iPhone/Arc browser.
That’s it! Thank you!
@byjp The forcing to the bottom is a trade-off. I wanted people focusing on what was happening, rather than skipping back and waiting for it to load.
As for Opus? Fuck Apple 😆
@byjp It isn't JavaScript 🙂
It is *literally* a very slow web server.
