Sorry to go meta, but this is the first site I've visited that actively fights back when I try to zoom out (or in, but the text is already very big by default)! I'm wondering if it's deliberate (why??) or a side effect of something else.

Re: Encoding Jake Gyllenhaal into one million checkboxes (2024)
#12This is cool but was hard to read because I think it lacks some context... so "one of my friends" made a site where anyone could toggle a checkbox on a large canvas of checkboxes? And you (author?) set up a script to automatically toggle a bunch of them at a at a time to anime a short video of Jake Gyllenhaal? Was this done via rendering the site and toggling appropriate coordinates, or through an endpoint/API?

author here! I mostly assumed the reader had some context for this blog around omcb since it had gone viral and I posted it in circles already familiar, but looking back that wasn't a great decision. I'll likely revise this blog soon as there's a few other things I thought I didn't explain well. thanks for your feedback!

Is there a demo or git of the page?
