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.
