troublesome fox girl

hello i like to make video games and stuff and also have a good time on the computer. look @ my pinned for some of the video games and things. sometimes i am horny on @squishfox



behold!

well i worked something out using background-clip and an inline animated svg using a data url. (i tried to do it without transparent text, using mix-blend-mode, but it didn't work at all, hm.) it's still not quite ideal because you have to edit the svg to change the duration (which is base64-encoded lol), and the animation doesn't reset under quite the same conditions as a css animation, but hey it's something. i feel like there's also a trick to get rid of the chevron after you open the details but offhand i can't think of what it is, so i didn't animate it this time because that seems annoying

Does this get cached somehow? It scrolled the first time I saw it, but subsequent times (within the same tab, even after a reload, excluding hard reload) it just all shows the whole text at once.

someone should make a directory (maybe a hackmd or git repo) of cohost scripts and css tricks. or maybe someones already done that? because these are super cool but near impossible to google for

I remember MSIE supporting Powerpoint-style "build effects" back in the day, which of course were incredibly broken on things that weren't MSIE, and were also really annoying to have to watch. I recall one page having the build speed set to be so obnoxiously slow that it took, like, 15 minutes for all of the text to finish appearing. Every. Single. Time.

Thankfully they were very uncommonly used. I'm surprised I didn't see more of it.

I remember getting really annoyed at someone for doing them on their webpage that was linked to from Flipcode and nobody else had any idea WTF I was talking about but like for whatever reason their build animation was set up in such a way that it was like one word per three seconds on my browser.
