Quote: "Made in the People's Republic of China (Ling, not the website... which was handcrafted by Ling, in the UK)" Definitely the guy has a great humor.

Ling's a girl

Now that you mention it and taking a closer look, it does look like one, but when I first took the look at the site my brain said "it's a guy".

Man, if it were the early 2000's, I could give you a seemingly endless list of sites. There was a a network of sites like designiskinky, k10k, praystation, and many others that existed to curate, and showcase interesting websites. A lot of that creativity was due to graphic designers learning Flash, and putting up their experiments. A really interesting period of time. Sadly, I don't really know of anything like that…

> k10k, praystation

Ah yeah that's a nice hit of nostalgia.

gmunk was a favorite of mine back then. Nice to see he's had a rad career: https://gmunk.com/

Warning: If you click on the logo at the center of the screen, music plays, which may bother others around you.

Yeah, but everyone has been WFH for two years now…

Theory: any conversation on Hacker News that can boil down to WFH discussion, will.

I tap start, a rectangle with height with animated strips appear, and nothing else happens?

I'm curious what browser you're using. This works for me on desktop and mobile chrome
