Hi, I'm David • Hacker News Board

was like that for me too, I believe app[hash].js is the culprit, a 5mb download. It's a very pretty site, and I wish I could do this shader / unity / 3d stuff

It's a fun idea. I'm working on something similar for my personal site (a little interactive 3D sandbox with threejs and bullet physics).

People saying that it's not small or that it doesn't load fast enough are kind of missing the point... it's supposed to be a showcase of some skills this person has, not a tiny fast site.

Very nice balloon animation. Rarely do I visit a personal homepage that heats up my laptop.

I dunno, try opening a couple of parallax / animation heavy websites and just stay on them scrolling up and down. I have had the fans revving up from that plenty of times.

Dang, you can do some pretty slick stuff with Three.js if you're good like this guy
