This looks great, but it requires all of ThreeJS, even for the backgrounds that are really just some shaders. You don't really need a complete 3D library to just render 2 triangles that fill the entire screen and apply a shader to them.

if you have a direct fiber internet connection to your house page size doesn't even matter.

Oh no... I suspect we're going to see this everywhere now.

I’ll take this over the faux PowerPoint slide presentations that caught on the last few years. Repeat after me: It’s a website, not a power point presentation It’s a website, not a power point presentation It’s a website, not a power point presentation

What if a website IS a PowerPoint presentation?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

They should have just stuck with Apache or GPL license, as now any derivative work nullifies that adamant license and requires no attribution ngmi

Apache or GPL do not allow you to ban selling or minting NFTs.

Well! I suppose we are at an impasse!

Jokes aside, pretty much no client side javascript allows this restriction. Its a tale as old as view source.

My mantra is “do things worth suing over”. Prideful restrictive in line comments don't pass that bar for me.

Crashed latest iOS safari. Something like this probably should be disabled on mobile anyways to be nice to visitors’ battery

People will say “works fine for me” but I’ve experienced this with iOS Safari (and particularly webviews) repeatedly. Crashes are incredibly hard to pin down and replicate (maybe there’s also another tab dominating CPU? Maybe you’re on a lower end device like an iPhone 6? Maybe you’re on an older iOS version?). Some of the most frustrating user feedback to get.
