Stupid question: Is this an entire blog post about an animated font without showing the animation in action, or does it simply not work on my device? (iOS 15) I’m not sure where to look.
- urbandw311er 3y agoThey posted a YouTube video near the end of the blog post showing the result. See: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GF2sn2DXjlA https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GF2sn2DXjlA
- jccalhoun 3y agoYep. I'm not seeing anything on firefox on windows either
- resolutebat 3y agoYes, it is, and that's because the trick is that it relies in ligatures to combine series of dots into frames. One '.' shows the first frame, '..' the second, '...' the third, you get the idea. The only way to animate the font is thus to hold down the . key, which you can't really do in a blog post, at least without some custom JavaScript.
- pimlottc 3y agoSure, but they could have embedded the video in the page, or at the very least included some screenshots of individual frames.
