This is cool but was hard to read because I think it lacks some context... so "one of my friends" made a site where anyone could toggle a checkbox on a large canvas of checkboxes?
And you (author?) set up a script to automatically toggle a bunch of them at a at a time to anime a short video of Jake Gyllenhaal?
Was this done via rendering the site and toggling appropriate coordinates, or through an endpoint/API?

- lxe 1y agoAaaah this fills in the gaps! Thanks!
- ednaordinary 1y agoauthor here! I mostly assumed the reader had some context for this blog around omcb since it had gone viral and I posted it in circles already familiar, but looking back that wasn't a great decision. I'll likely revise this blog soon as there's a few other things I thought I didn't explain well. thanks for your feedback!
- keysdev 1y agoIs there a demo or git of the page?
- ednaordinary 1y agoomcb is available but only in single player mode now: https://onemillioncheckboxes.com/ https://onemillioncheckboxes.com/
- keysdev 1y agoAh I thought I was gonna see the sexy Gyllenhaal in checkboxes. Is there a public page of that?

- j0rd72 1y agoNot to pile on, but I wasn't expecting your "what's this" link to be a magnet link to Discord. Could be worth specifying that, or at least using a pop-out/magnet icon beside it.
