    My browser froze up so fast when I visited your page. Had to restart my machine.

    Oh, no! That was not my intention. Any better after restart?

    If you can hint at what I should try to fix I’ll look int it

    Nice. The five-tile paint cursor is an excellent design choice, much easier than the single-tile default you get on apps like Golly etc.

    What’s the Hypermedia reference? On mobile your About button is unclickable.

    App is written in Stario + datastar (realtime hypermedia) Fairly cool poc of what’s possible and extreamly simple

    Just Explaining the controls - you probably figured it out already :P

    Neat! I implemented something similar (real time playing along with GoL) for desktop:

    That's a desktop app only, right?

    Great stuff! What's it running on?

    bobowski 44 minutes

    It's on Stario (python web framework of my making) Works really well with realtime apps based on Datastar

    Or if you asked about a machine - then probably a potato :D

    What kind of potato?

    some hetzner vm - dont remember what I ended up having

    I'm probably leaking some memory here because app is eating memory like crazy:

    How crazy that I started working on something similar a week ago.

    Question, why does clicking on a single tile cause a cross on a 3x3 to be inputted? (results in that star thing that ends with 4 blinkers) Was this a conscious decision? Or just the result of a vibecoding

    Trial and error. Single cell was kind of dull and did not really produce enough „chaos”

    It'd be nice to have a few different options of 3x3 blocks to lay down. In particular, being able to set up a stream of gliders easily.

    I can loop into that :) Just got to find some spare time to sit to it. Tomorrow's Friday so maybe instead of deploying to prod at work I'll just add this one :D
