Show HN: Creepyface – Makes your face follow the mouse

• 4lejandrito 8y ago
  Hi everyone, author here. Creepyface is a Javascript library that you can use to make your picture follow the pointer (mouse or fingers). It's been my side project for more than I expected. This is Creepyface's story: 1. A few years ago I added this feature to my online resume. Employers would see my eyes following their mouse, and they liked it! 2. At some point I thought I could turn it into an open source library. I did so (https://www.npmjs.com/package/creepyface https://www.npmjs.com/package/creepyface). 3. I decided to create a site for it. I did so (https://creepyface.io https://creepyface.io). 4. I decided to improve the site so that people could create their own Creepyfaces from it. I did so (https://creepyface.io/create https://creepyface.io/create). 5. Time passed and I got fed up, thought this was a useless silly project and was about to trash it forever. 6. I met a guy at work (https://github.com/boton https://github.com/boton) who thought it was cool and has been pushing me to release it to the wild. Thanks for the motivation! 7. I kept delaying the "release" because it wasn't perfect. I fixed too many bugs and my friend kept telling me I was worrying too much. 8. Now here I am, still not convinced, but I think it is time to move on and throw it out there. What could have taken a few days ended up taking more than a year. So much work for such a small thing :) I hope someone finds it cool. Feedback is very welcome.
