Excellent. I do feel like there's been a bit of a rejection of the polished, streamlined, "Facebook/Reddit" internet of late, and I love reading articles like this.
"I wonder if I can do..." ponderings, followed by a wonderfully absurd, but still mostly functional way of doing it, that involves going down all sorts of fun little rabbit holes to work around nonsensical but entertaining constraints like "Lego gears don't exist in an infinite number of forms."
Though as much as it doesn't need to be https, I still think random personal sites should be https. It makes it harder to inject random bonus conntent in the responses, and I include any form of modification there, not just malicious - ISPs have been known to make changes to add their own little ad banners in the past. Denver International is particularly bad at this, or at least used to be.

At one time it was the sort of thing I would do, but nothing seems interesting or motivating enough these days. My first thought is "wow that would take a lot of time" and I abandon the idea.
