Introducing Slowww.ml – the slow web server

[cazmockett@mastodon.social]

@Edent works fine on Chrome in iOS. Didn’t have time to wait for *all* of it but I see no reason why the rest would not have worked.

[edent@mastodon.social]

@cazmockett your laziness is appreciated!

[edent@mastodon.social]

@datatrash thanks! Once the page has finished, you should be able to scroll back up.

[datatrash@mastodon.social]

@Edent Site load completed. No jpgs for me.

But the polyphony on that last audio button is nice.

[edent@mastodon.social]

@datatrash ta!

[riaschissl@sigmoid.social]

@Edent yes, it loaded correctly on my Fennec browser, watched it load and work its way till the very end.

Very informative and very nicely done!

[edent@mastodon.social]

@riaschissl cheers!

[imprinted@mastodon.uno]

@Edent
It works for me. There is a typo in JPEG compression.
Very slow.

[edent@mastodon.social]

@Imprinted pull requests welcome

[dusoft@fosstodon.org]

@Edent Sure it does... slow. Also:

[edent@mastodon.social]

@dusoft yup, deliberately so.

[ctd@mastodon.social]

@Edent nothing after 45 seconds on Safari on MacOS. After a minute some characters appeared. Like days of old

[carrielondon@mastodon.social]

@Edent that was diverting.

[kewball@mastodon.social]

@Edent

I absolutely love this!

It seems to be stuck announcing readiness of the audio:

scrolling to the bottom whenever a new line of text appears. There is a tiny scrap of JavaScript firing every second.
OK! That audio should have

@Edent That’s really cute! With a great message too. Great work ️

A few questions and some feedback! I’ll post in separate messages, if you don’t mind ️

[byjp@hachyderm.io]

@Edent Have you tested your images encoded with JPEGli as a progressive JPEG? I’ve found them to be roughly the same size as webP (I have a tool at https://github.com/jphastings/jpegli or brew install jphastings/tools/jpegli — but you’d need to compile it yourself for q=10!)

[byjp@hachyderm.io]

@Edent The type-as-it-arrives JavaScript is awesome! I’ll definitely be viewing the source when I get to a proper machine ️ What gave you the idea?

[edent@mastodon.social]

@byjp It isn't JavaScript
It is *literally* a very slow web server.

[byjp@hachyderm.io]

@Edent Some feedback (please ignore if you wish; you didn’t ask for it!):

The JavaScript *forcing* me to the bottom meant I couldn’t read the top until the end (cos I missed the page finishing loading )

The Opus audio didn’t work on my iPhone/Arc browser.

That’s it! Thank you!

[edent@mastodon.social]

@byjp I released the website a few years before JPEGli was a thing.
