- she/they
Hi! Just a cute trans girl on the internet. I have a plethora of random little hobbies and creative media I like to make stuff in, which I may or may not post when I have time. :3
This girl dreams of being a gamedev someday.
A little bit of a creature.
Going to miss Cohost so much when it's gone. :( Let's carry Eggbug in our hearts...

ooh, doing it as a svg really makes sense. i was wondering how one achieved all this under the cohost css animation constraints
Yeah for sure! I wasn't sure if it would be possible, but I saw an example in prechoster that used an SVG and figured I could make it work. It's actually really fascinating - you can convert an SVG written in HTML into a base64-encoded string and then embed that inline into an html document and then make it the background of an element. It's actually wild.
To clarify, I did not come up with this solution per se, I just piggybacked off of what the prechoster person (people?) did. Just used my computerbrain to figure out the method behind the madness as it were.
it's a very clever approach, yeah. despite my css crimery i'm not actually well acquainted with svg animation, so this is very very impressive
Aww thank you! If you're familiar with CSS animation it's not too different. The biggest thing is that the SVG itself is built with a type of XML where the tags and attributes are different from vanilla HTML. I only recently learned about this stuff when I was covertly browsing w3schools at work one time lol.
i've actually looked at the raw xml of an svg before! mainly in order to find a cool way to programmatically corrupt it in an artistic way
Ohhh that sounds really fun! I love digital corruption as an artistic... tool I guess? I was going to say medium but maybe that's a bit reductive.
Hmm what browser on iOS? Safari? I wonder what would cause that. It works on my android phone in Firefox.
yeah it’s Safari. I’ve tried on desktop Safari and it’s reproducible there too
Hm.. maybe it needs a -webkit prefix or something in there. Looks like they no longer even allow one to download safari on windows or android, so I can't test it right now. I'll have to charge up my old macbook and take a look at it.
Safari for Windows has been dead for over a decade at this point, and it's never been on Android.
It's a sad state of affairs that you need an Apple device to test on WebKit
I haven't really paid any attention to safari in.. about 10 years so that tracks lol. But yeah idk if there's some kinda test kit or something for devs but the only thing I can think of is to try on an apple device.
Welp looks like I'm locked out of my macbook anyway and the recovery thing refuses to comnect to the internet no matter what I do. Apple tech hates me.
