i'm sorry everyone. you may recall from a recent css baby post that i made a fake window like this:

fox
eevee's web zone — Mozilla Firefox
×
🔒 https://eev.ee/
(website elided)
Done

however that was incredibly lazy of me. you see, the behavior you get when clicking the minimize button is not minimizing. it is a behavior called shade, which has mostly been in kde and nextstep and other obscure window managers used by nerds.

an actual minimize button would do this

fox
eevee's web zone — Mozilla Firefox

Done

Something that this post (and many others) made me realize was that there was a specific kind of magic that was almost exclusive to Tumblr and that seemingly only CoHost was able to recapture, and that was the Format Humor. People are able to mess with the formats of different fonts and stuff to make really neat effects, and they're also able to make things like the post above function in a way that no other site is able to pull off. I remember similar things being possible on Tumblr, but CoHost is able to take it to a whole new level.
