@nikitonsky did your site go down for few moments? I was seeing the nginx error.

@nikitonsky fun effect! I had to remove the DOM element though, to be able to focus on the content.

@nikitonsky I'll admit, I was curious. Was quite confusing at first, but devtools let me hide them quickly, and then confirmed the websockets by looking at the source. For me though, this was incredibly distracting, and made reading your post significantly harder until I turned them off.

@nikitonsky Maybe I shouldn’t be, but I was surprised how boring the HN crowd was in these comments. Usually quirky “old web” is much appreciated over there.

@nikitonsky
The cursors were too distracting for me, so I turned on the reader mode. Unfortunately, the dark mode of the reader broke the images.

Perhaps this could be a future topic for your blog. "Content that gets consumed in different ways. A11y, color schemes, reader mode, on b/w epaper, tiny screens, as audio, etc."

I feel like this is an important topic, that's often overlooked. And I guess you could have some insight, given your work on UI.
