For those that can't get it to load (it takes a minute, and I noticed my desktop's fan kick it up a notch while things were getting initialized, so... YMMV): this is a portfolio site done via a cozy-gaming-style AWSD game where you drive around in a jeep-like thingamabob. There are some cute easter eggs, including a sort of... shrine to each of the socials, which you can run into with your car and knock over (though the links remain clickable, of course!). It also looks like there's some degree of global state; for example, you can "sacrifice yourself to the gods of chaos" (ie drive into a portal) and a counter on the side of the portal goes up, presumably for everyone (since I certainly didn't drive into it 1700 times myself!). There's a strongly consistent art style, and just generally... seems pretty polished. Or at least, that's what it felt like after 5 minutes of driving around.

All in all I'd say, I'm impressed, and enjoyed it. Though I think the HN title ("handsdown one of the coolest 3D websites") is maybe a bit much. It's an extremely-well-executed portfolio site; no more, no less.

How many cooler 3D websites do you know? I personally know less than 10, and only https://messenger.abeto.co/ off the top of my head.

I navigated using touch on my iPhone and it felt a lot like playing Genshin Impact

Safari highlighted something and it highlighted the whole screen and I couldnt get it to unselect

That’s a classic issue with these, and often not solvable by the web developer - an issue with mobile browsers themselves that’s hard to get around

It's trivially solvable with CSS though, isn't it? See the beginning of this stylesheet for example: https://github.com/mvasilkov/board2024/blob/master/out/app.c... — this is from my small 2024 game.

You mean the select: none, along with the drag setting?

If so, that's not necessarily followed/applied for accessibility reasons

It worked surprisingly well on ddg browser, iOS, iPhone mini 12. So, impressive!

not so well on chrome on ihpone xr sadly. But perhaps thats asking too much of a tired 7yr old device.

All browsers on iOS are (still, though sadly not for long…) the same browser. Only the skin changes.

Why is that sad?

Because Apple's walled garden is for your own good, Citizen.

When it avoids a chrome (and thus google) monopoly: yes. And don’t talk to me about Firefox engine. Its market share is negligible and the whole thing only even still exists because google allows it.

So WebKit is the walled garden? I thought it was the App Store.

wlesieutre 9 hours ago | parent [-]

The App Store is the walled garden that doesn't allow anyone else to ship a browser engine, except in certain markets where they have been forced by law to create a "Web Browser Engine Entitlement" that non-WebKit browsers can use with super special permission from Apple.

Luckily not for long you mean?

I for one am looking forward to full-on Firefox with extensions etc.

You can already have Firefox extensions on iOS with Orion.
