Earlier quoted context omitted.

I'm not sure about others, but I also had a NSFW picture load up. Are the pictures random, some of which are NSFW? (Maybe in some places it is different, but even classical art can be considered NSFW in parts of the US.)

are we referring to "the three graces"? at what point along the spectrum of "abstract" does a boob become SFW? it's a rectangle with a rectangle inside of it, for fucks sake.

Where I live, if it can be recognized as anything similar to something NSFW, then it is NSFW. Yes, the culture is extra prudish and I wish it wasn't, but I don't have any control over it.

Awesome. I didn't really get it until I looked at the Brother picture, but that is brilliant.

Brother shows off a good use case. Zeus is just fun

I wonder if this can be applied to high quality pixel images as well or if the distortion would look weird.

This is really awesome. At first I was going to write a comment about how this completely ruins pixel art by changing the pixels which are hand placed by the artists. But then after viewing a few images I realized that this is hand tooled changed, not just compression. Bravo.

Hello this is Marcus, the guy who did the resolution independent illustrations. I just uploaded the current version of the site, so it will no longer freeze, when the image gets to small. I also updated the Tantalos image.

I am currently a bit blown away by the reaction to this. I finished this over a year ago but didn’t manage to make it public till now. I presented this at a meetup in Berlin yesterday and someone asked for an online version, which I postet to Twitter — then things escalated quickly.

So because a lot of people are asking: I am currently redoing my completely outdated homepage. The new one will include an in-depth explanation of what is actually happening there, what’s the idea behind it and how I want to apply this to actual web design to make resolution-independent work more easy and less restrictive for both designers and developers.

Until then I will try to answer some questions here …

Scalable Greetings Marcus

There appear to be a resize bug... for example with The Sphinx, if you go wide and short, the guy is pointing left with his arms, but if you go tall and skinny, the guy is pointing up with his arms...

I think that's intentional. The images change a lot depending on the aspect ratio. Just try Zeus. Magical!

>That's right, I'm tracking this side Do you mean you're tracking visits that hit "view page source"? Does that work? I can't find any info about that on Google.

I think he meant "site". It's just regular Google Analytics.

The author is a German speaker. German 'Seite' can translate to both 'side' and 'page', so it is a kind of false friend with English 'side'.
