Author here. This started as one of our monthly days of experimenting at our design agency https://booreiland.amsterdam https://booreiland.amsterdam — The concept of those days is to create something (anything) in 8 hours. The prototype of this was done in the day after Crouwel passed away so that basically was my starting point. I knew he worked a lot with grid-based type (and earned the nickname Gridnik because of that).
I see a lot of comments about readability. That's not really the point though, although I tried my best. It's more of a programming and design puzzle, to see what happens if all you have is a 3×3 grid.
- OliverM 7y agoI really enjoyed it, even if I did think it was going to be recommendations for a text editor config initially. How was it built? Looking through the compiled JS, it looks like it uses PixiJS (https://pixijs.download/dev/docs/index.html https://pixijs.download/dev/docs/index.html)?
- monokai_nl 7y agoThanks! It uses PixiJS for rendering, the rest is custom JS.
- xenihn 7y agoI found it really hard to read, but I loved the presentation. It was definitely a much smoother parallax effect than the one that Apple did for the iPhone 11 launch page (though I'm assuming they've since fixed it). You should definitely be proud.
