The Web Beyond the Edges of the Browser Window
summary
Builds real things with web standards: a physics-simulated clock with breakable hands and a winding knob that snaps, SVG sampled 30×/s and output over the Web Audio API driving an oscilloscope (which later explodes), a train-built simulator that reproduces scope phosphor quirks, Doom rendered on the repaired scope, a cheap flamethrower from AliExpress controlled via CSS, and CSS animations driving a laser projector — some experiments succeed, some burn out, all use concrete APIs and hardware hacks.
