Hello! My name is Jacobi. I made Eyecandy. I'm appreciating seeing suggestions. Is there anything you want me to try on the website? Anything I could improve?

Hi, my only suggestion I immediately had is that if you're paging the content on mobile scroll, then for client performance reasons you could be unloading the older pages from the very top otherwise my experience ends at nearly few scrolls where my cpu says it is done.

This page is hosted with Squarespace right?

How much does it cost for you to be hosting this site with so many files?

I see that you are using gif for everything. I suggest using webm and similar video formats instead. To use less bandwidth from your visitors.

My monthly mobile data plan consumed in seconds. I hate html video autoplays, especially on mobile! Unfortunatelly it appears that it is currently not possible to disable it in Kiwi browser... EDIT: someone on Reddit suggested AutoplayStopper extension

These pages are using gif rather than video. That also contributes to more data consumed, because gif has very basic compression.

So in addition to an extension to disable auto play of videos for other pages, you probably need a different extension to disable gifs.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Also movies such as Who Framed Roger Rabbit [1] and Space Jam [2]. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KujzFdGu7gY [2] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yS_muZsLBok

And the intro to Watchmen would deserve to be there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h24D87SqaLQ Edit: I guess that would simply be the "Slow Motion" section.

Off topic but that is one of the best film intros ever, showing rather than telling a 40 year backstory.

Gifs have large file sizes and poor image quality. Replace them with videos and you’ll improve page load, reduce bandwidth costs (for yourself and your users), and have better quality.

You can configure HTML video to (by default) show no controls and auto-loop so they’ll be indistinguishable from gifs on a first look, but better in every other way.

I recognized the Reservoir Dogs example just from my brain.

To the site author, if you're going to list unknown images like this it would be nice if there was a way to give you feedback on them directly.

Reminds me of https://www.sakugabooru.com/ , a booru that is (as I understand it) designed as a reference for anime animators

Nice. A great collection of extraordinary animation. Especially https://www.sakugabooru.com/post/show/147316 Apparently the animator eschewed keyframes entirely, opting to "just do it correctly" frame by frame. I haven't seen weight conveyed quite like like that.

nota bene, there's no "correct" way to do it. Pose to pose vs straight ahead have both pros and cons, with latter more suited for fast-paced and/or fluid (as in fx/water) type of animation.
