jonny (good kind)OK how about this for a web site
part of a continuing quest for the #BestWebsite
An Agora
Eli the Bearded@jonny In 2001, I created a simple page that made a bird sub-window center itself under your mouse. The idea was "you can't close it without using keyboard controls". The JS doesn't work anymore but I really don't care to figure out why.
The code, and my ASCII art bird, is here:

@elithebearded I think with contemporary javascript you would do that like this! https://gist.github.com/sneakers-the-rat/b00e431e011b17d69f3692196772d4a7
@jonny Thanks. It seems a little easier to escape now, fast mouse movements or hitting the side of the screen work. But it's the general idea.
I stuck it in the lower case version of the URL at my website:
https://qaz.wtf/js/
I can credit you differently if you'd like.
@elithebearded
dang. we'll have to write a predictive kalman filter to move the window one or two steps ahead of where the mouse is going to be then. no credit needed, it was your site :)

CauseOfBSOD@jonny this one isnt prohibited by any rules, but might just be a web development war crime
@feonixrift it is just a stunningly bad idea

Dan Goodman@jonny omg! This is a work of horrifying genius. Deranged. I love it.
Nire Bryce@jonny can you determine the position of the window below it and then smoothly load a new page based on coordinates?
I am imagining something terrible where you fixed-width a window to excruciatingly small, and make them hunt around the blank "main page" with the cartoon-detective magnifying-glass-window
@NireBryce
so yes, and you could do this with multiple windows as well:

holy shit that is a beautiful idea

Andy Warburton ❌❌❌@jonny I remember back in the early 00's there was a website that opened a whole bunch of UI-less popup windows in a grid similar to this. It was considered revolutionary at the time but I don't think you could even make it work now!
@andy_warb
it is possible still! you just need people to give you permission to open the popups, at least in ff. that'll be a basic part of accessing this site: do u choose the popup route or the normal website route lol

Esdonto@jonny can you reach the ABOUT page? It doesn't look like the user can control the trajectory of the ball
@esdonto
yes but the user can also control the position of the windows lol ;p
yes but the user can also control the position of the windows lol ;p
Beatrix@jonny ah yes, The Metaverse
@jonny hahahaha, I love this! Can't see the image but the description is awesome.
stevenray@jonny @deirdrespencer gets my vote. 😁

Stevoisiak@jonny Incredible
Eric Bower@jonny cursed website, love it
MOVED TO @
)@jonny unfortunately, if you browser is modern, popups will be blocked by default. Back when I was in highschool I made a forkbomb using this because the schools sysadmin set popups to always be allowed 🤦♀️
Alex Hanna@jonny Nightmare.
SP⟁CED GO⟁T@jonny is this a new hyprland app launcher?
infinite_loopy@jonny Ok, but shouldn't the title bar shrink when the "ball" website hits the ceiling?
@infinite_loopy
the paddle? is that how this game is supposed to work?
the paddle? is that how this game is supposed to work?
@jonny Yes. The versions of breakout I'm familiar with cut the size of the paddle in half when the ball goes to the top of the screen. Maybe it was just an Atari thing...?
unsponsor@jonny amazing and cursed
Athena L.M.@jonny unacceptable
Shane Celis@jonny It’s a day for arkanoid-likes, @StupidMassive!
raeis3d@jonny and then Ads will just be like mindsweeper bombs 😮💨

sorryyyyy I haven't deployed it yet because I haven't set up my ci on my own server yet but here is the worst js in the world:
https://git.jon-e.net/jonny/homepage/src/branch/main/_assets/js/pong.js
and some of the laziest templating of all time:

Knud JahnkeReminds me of the times when we did things like this around 2000. I present the Institute for Optical Innovation. That only exists per it's homepages.

(oh yes, and at some point around then I also wrote pong in Javascript)
