That's how I tried to make my personal website look! I actually asked GPT3 to write the code for me. I'm not a SWE so I'm not sure how well it did, but it works! http://h4x.club

You could add these styles to get closer to the CRT look: Add these to the body style: text-shadow: 1px 1px 6px #8aff00; filter: blur(0.3px); background-image: repeating-linear-gradient( to bottom, rgb(0 0 0), rgb(0 255 76 / 7%) 3px, rgb(100 100 100 / 23%) 7px ); Also bump the font-size to 18px, it looks a bit better imho.

I love this and I used it for fun occasionally. On my MacBook I also used Cathode before, but after I learned about Cool Retro Term the thought crossed my mind that the former might be a rip-off of the later. I do not wish to make any false accusations but the effects are pretty similar and maybe other commenters can confirm or dispel the suspicion. What I am looking for since some time now is a way to create these e…

> the former might be a rip-off of the later If you're suggesting Cathode might be ripping off Cool Retro Term, I think Cathode[1] (Jan 25, 2011) predates Cool Retro Term[2] (Nov 22, 2013) by almost three years.
