#112https://oimo.io/works/ on mobile, for me, only works properly in portrait.
Wow. It even contains a small copy of itself! Works fine for me in Firefox for Android.
The copy contains a copy which also contains a copy (when highlighted).
Expectable from the author of the recursive Life Universe https://blog.oimo.io/2023/04/10/life-universe-en/

#113Wow. That makes me anxious. It really makes me feel like the seconds come and go.
I'm curious about why exactly this is so anxiety-inducing. I have multiple hypotheses: a) the way the numbers only come together for a moment means you need to concentrate. b) the feeling of objects being flung towards you. c) the color scheme. d) the frenetic, jittery movement of the blocks, kind of like insects. e) The large number of objects moving unpredictably makes it hard to track. f) The passage of time. g) E…
As a parent, I’m just thinking of all the blocks needing to be tidied away.

#114Sorry for the asside, perhaps we could add a rule that single name tools need a short description in the thread title. The top two threads are titled "Clock" and "Astral" and you don't know what they are going to be until I click out to the external site or try to guess from comments.

It would just make it easier to know if you are about to waste your time and get a facefull of tracking JS, subscription popups and marketing BS for no reason or if you might actually gain something for the click.

#115Imagining this up on my next Zoom, suspect everyone will start talking much much faster and we might get through more but be knackered by the end of the call.

#116Sweet, a Yugo Nakemura for the 21st Century. Anyone who doesn’t remember yugop.com, it was a site of beautifully cool experiments with Flash and Actionscript 1/2, the guy really was an inspiration to so many of us trying to figure out what to do with the web.
Yugop (the website) was such an inspiration: it questioned the way we interact with our devices in a playful way. I can say that it influenced my work and career…!
Re: Clock
#117Difficult to read when the time is only stable for such a short period.
What if the time emerged from the depths of the scene already assembled, only to crumble to dust as its moment passes?

#118Earlier quoted context omitted.
Same, I felt it in the pit of my stomach right away. The Life one ( https://oimo.io/works/life/ ) is worse!

Wow, that quickly went from "ah this looks like it would be a cute thing to reproduce" to "oh god, this is way more wildly complex than I thought!"

#119Reminds me of Yugo Nakamura - what was once yugop.com - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yugo_Nakamura

If you need the literal opposite of this site, I made Sit. (https://sit.sonnet.io) which is not even a clock, but a timer for sitting down and doing f*ck all.
I like the idea of this project, we need more semi-useless toys in our lives. I almost wish that every piece of software I use were customisable and themeable like Winamp. (or certain every-day objects ranging from fashion to gadgets to human skin via tattoos)
