As you scroll around you'll notice it'll turn all the images into jpegs with bad artifacting like you're back on dialup surfing the world wide web. That's dedication to detail.

- jesse__ 2y agoI noticed this too. I love this kind of thing so much. I wish more people had the time, money and patience for polish like this.
- punnerud 2y agoIt’s starting to get way easier these days with the help of Claude.ai and Cursor.ai. I find it’s easier to pay much more focus to details when the iteration process is faster.
- ddingus 2y agoI did not see it at first. Once I did, I was entranced just scrolling about to see it again. The whole site is polished to a high degree. Lqbor of love, just like all the quirky items rhey have to loved just as much.

- quux 2y agoNice, I was wondering if they were actually making use of progressive JPEG or just switching between images.
- thih9 2y agoWe have reached an era where JPEG artifacts are used as an ornament - like artifacts from film photography, vinyls and more. Perhaps spotting that in a demastering project is bending the rules a bit, but still - I like how it indicates that our tastes and internet speeds have changed.

- npunt 2y agoYep. JPEG artifacts are now a signature of the medium. "Whatever you now find weird, ugly, uncomfortable and nasty about a new medium will surely become its signature. CD distortion, the jitteriness of digital video, the crap sound of 8-bit - all of these will be cherished and emulated as soon as they can be avoided. It’s the sound of failure: so much modern art is the sound of things going out of control, of a medium pushing to its limits and breaking apart. The distorted guitar sound is the sound of something too loud for the medium supposed to carry it. The blues singer with the cracked voice is the sound of an emotional cry too powerful for the throat that releases it. The excitement of grainy film, of bleached-out black and white, is the excitement of witnessing events too momentous for the medium assigned to record them." - Brian Eno
