Cool, but this nearly hard crashed my phone. I'm on a OP12 which is one of the fastest phones you can buy.

The creator is here reading the feedback, and committing code as we speak. I wonder how much HN feedback will help. In any case, this is all a fun experiment!

update: between when I posted OP and now, the site went from utter jank in FF to 90% smooth on my 7 year old ThinkPad Carbon X1 (5th gen, Intel HD 620)

Nice! This is one of the coolest comment->commit experiences that I've ever had!

For a comparison, I'm on a Pixel 8a mid-level device, and with Opera I get fairly smooth frame rates with some stuttering here and there. Maybe something else is running in the background?
