The Abominable Dr. Vibesthe blink tag was awesome and they shouldn't have gotten rid of it
I'm going to write a web component out of spite
thankfully somebody already did this
The VHS Wizard 🦝📼🧙@ItsTheManOnTheMoon it's part of the whimsy of web 1.0 that is missing from most online experiences. <Blink> was the difference between these two McDonald's
not the marquee tag though, fuck that internet explorer shit
unlofl [Promoted Toot]@ItsTheManOnTheMoon the most cursed thing I ever wrote was reimplementing the marquee tag with jquery
@unlofl back when AJAX was the hot new thing and everyone was cramming it into stuff that absolutely didn't need it, I remember somebody did a cursed snarky how-to essay where they reimplemented blink by having a script call a remote API every 500ms to determine whether to show or hide an element
ryan wolf@ItsTheManOnTheMoon its not gone, the "off" part of the cycle just got really, really long
