I built a website where you can pop confettis for no reason • Hacker News Board

Because so many people on here talk about how good the "old web" used to be. This is it. This is peak old web. Maybe a bit too polished, but still. Pointless and fun, because fun is fun.

I seem to be capped at 98 ms (FF/chrome ubuntu 24.04).

For a Linux user, this seems quite trivial to replicate using any kernel since mid-2023, with lower latency and lower security exposure.

Also, why have this as a hosted service when confetti popping can be spun up on a local deployment for a fraction of the cost?
