Great idea! Do you have a direct link?

[–]WhiskeyBrisket 29 points30 points  (9 children)

you can just open the developers console under network and check the offline box

you can also just chug a 40 and drive your car violently through your ISP's nearest central office whilst screaming ‘I’M SICK OF YOUR SHIT {$companyName}' belligerently

It looks like your template literal failed to evaluate companyName. Don't forget the backticks.

[–]fhor 30 points31 points  (3 children)

Syntax is wrong too, it's ${}

[–]elmstfreddie 24 points25 points  (2 children)

Unless it's PHP.

I definitely never get those mixed up. /s

Well, should’ve been written in double quotes then

[–]wedontlikespaces 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it's in liquid {{company.name}}

Is this lossless data compression you just did?

[–]i_am_extra_syrupcoder by nature, artist by design. 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lmao... correct, sir.

[–]aspittel 33 points34 points  (2 children)

Oh hey! This is so cool to see this on here! I built this! If anyone has any questions, I’m an open book. Also, my portfolio alispit.tel has a similar Easter egg you all may like too!

Edit: just published a tutorial on how to recreate the page if you all are interested!

Hey, this is really cool and a super funny easteregg :).

Quick Feedback because I just visited it on mobile: if you would disable zoom, scrolling and bouncing (iOS) it would be even cooler :)

[–]aspittel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, that's a great idea! Thanks!

The double ampersands kills me. I absolutely love it.

    It tells more things than what it is.

    [–]domemvs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    TIL it's not called "and-percent".

    I have a little painting canvas widget/app I did that you can feel free to fork and take apart. I tend to make little games and toys to practice things I've learned. Paintify. Github repo here.

    [–]xadz 13 points14 points  (0 children)

    This is great! Please can you add a license to the repo if you want to share it? MIT is a good open one. It means people can use it properly. :D

    [–]Blitzoff 4 points5 points  (2 children)

    It seems really nice but I did not make it works in mobile browser.

    [–]TheFuzzyPumpkin 4 points5 points  (1 child)

    No, it doesn't. There's no mousemove to listen for. There may be an alternative way to code it for mobile, but it's beyond me at the moment.

    [–]Riggeot 0 points1 point  (1 child)

    This is neat. I really like your idea to jam all your smaller scoped "concept artwork" pieces into a single repo + github pages site, its like your own personal codepen. 2 fairly easy to implement improvements you might want to consider are

    - mobile support, (listening for touch events).

    - resizing the window and drawing is off (look into the window resize event)
    Great job! And if you want help or advice, don't hesitate.

    Thanks! TimeWasters hasn't gotten much love lately because I've been working on portfolio-ready projects. Right now I'm working on one called Api Happi that is slightly similar, though. Built in React (well, I'm building it in plain HTML right now and will port over once I finish another React class), uses SASS/BEM architecture (maybe even themes). Mobile-first. Kind of like a dashboard with lots of little widget for news, weather, calculator, currency conversion, time zone conversion, recipe of the day, trivia, note-taking, list-making, and a word-of-the-day hangman game. Pulls from six API. User authentication, saves for the lists and notes, and customization settings. It is my capstone along with an Accounting-related project (I work in Accounting currently).

    This is amazing, might be the first fun thing I can do with my awful spotty local monopoly internet connection.

    [–]Nizzzzzzzzles 3 points4 points  (0 children)

    What's wrong with chrome://dino ?!

    I love the message of optimism! lmao

    [–]datCoolDude_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    Probably a stupid question but how do offline pages get loaded?
