An ocean page (with favorite sea creatures) sounds amazing. I imagine it having layers or depths that the user can go down or up in. Hidden crevices and crannies.

That's what I'm doing!! Or, trying to do. I want to have my creatures at correct depths/locations/niches but translating that to a small 2D screen is proving to be a headache... but I'll figure it out! and thank you for the comment, it's encouragement!! i hope it'll be cool too :D

this site is INCREDIBLE, I was giggling in delight the whole time. This is amazing??!!! Spent a fantastic few minutes playing with the midi program. The CD player! I've enjoyed poking around your computer so so much :D I can't imagine the effort that has gone into this, it's fantastic.

Thank you! It's a massive labor of love. Between debugging and working on other upcoming projects, I hope I can get a new update out soon :)

Oh, your site is amazing! I have no idea how you did it, but it's incredible... I could seriously visit it for an hour, immersed in this beautiful nostalgia ♥

technical: typescript and preact/react mostly. react/preact is a tool for building UIs, and TypeScript is a tool for writing robust and maintainable code. It started as pure html and css. Really happy you're enjoying it, there's lots more to come!

I am very tied up because of a heavy class workload (rip windows 99) but i will get to it very soon!! in the meantime, i recommend Italo Calvino's "Marcovaldo" and/or "Invisible Cities", two recent reads :)
