I took inspiration from ANSI art for my own domain. It also uses a scroll effect based on the 4 block characters: https://monokai.nl https://monokai.nl

- codazoda 6y agoThis is actually really cool. I've thought about building a BBS like service on the modern web but still having the old feeling. Your design might work for something like this. It has a bit of the feel, at least. I love the fading as you scroll, it gives that nostalgic feeling of a modem drawing the screen. Anyway, nice work, I enjoyed scrolling through it.
- sneak 6y agoI've been thinking about an ssh-based bbs, written in a modern language, explicitly not accessible on the web. If something like that sounds interesting to you, hmu to collaborate.
- mattt416 6y agoI actually installed Mystic BBS (http://www.mysticbbs.com/ http://www.mysticbbs.com/) just this week and had a telnet/ssh board up in minutes. Thought it’d be fun to work on a system like this in a modern language, but figured it’d likely be a colossal waste of time.
- alexmingoia 6y agoThat pixel scroll effect is so cool! How is it done?
- monokai_nl 6y agoSo just this once I'm going to direct you to Reddit. They've tried to dissect it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/webdev/comments/b0wcrm/how_is_this_website_performing_this_scroll_effect/ https://www.reddit.com/r/webdev/comments/b0wcrm/how_is_this_...
- devilduck 6y agoOh you are just the most humble aren't you
- codethief 6y agoTL;DR Position an overlay element (in this case, a <canvas>) at the bottom of the browser viewport and draw some squares in the same color as your site's background color.
- monokai_nl 6y agoYes, correct. And this method only works because the background is the same color as the overlaid blocks and the font is monospace, so you can precisely position the blocks over the characters.
- ddingus 6y agoI love it. Nice work.
- coldtea 6y agoNever mind the scroll effect, you're the creator of Monokai (and Monokai Pro, of which I'm a registered ST user)???!!! Now that's impressive! :-)
- monokai_nl 6y agoThanks for your support :)
- whatever_dude 6y agoLove the scroll effect. Well done!
