#Projects 項目
noot — floating markdown scratchpad for macOS; double-tap ⌘ and it pops up at your cursor (Swift)#Guestbook 留言冊
#Generative grammar 生成文法
- Every surface is addressable. Page, tab title, URL bar, scrollbar, console, cursor, desktop — if the browser exposes it, decorate it.
- Digital things get material physics. Paper tears, ink bleeds, water rises, the sky matches reality.
- Everything links out in its own costume. A card referencing a thing dresses as that thing.
- The site measures and explains itself. Page weight in the footer, commentary mode, licensed source. (This list is rule 4 happening.)
- Systems over assets. Counters, masks, filters and gradients where others export PNGs.
- Deprecated ≠ dead. Marquees, guestbooks, webrings and badges are a living tradition — served in display-p3.

Cursor, everywhere including hover: Vibing Cat
by Mick Lagi via Cursors-4U — their official CSS embed (157 webp frames in one
@keyframes cursor-anim, step-end, self-hosted).
The torn-edge mask, feTurbulence thermal distortion, candy scrollbars,
1996 link-color grammar and hover behaviours are strip-mined from
maxbo.me's stylesheet (CC BY 4.0 — it invites this).
Live parts by htmx (Zero-Clause BSD) talking to a ~60-line Cloudflare Worker; the guestbook lives in D1 — SQLite locally and in prod. Weather data from nowhere: conditions are invented locally, including the 八號風球. The capital Ds are load-bearing. The 中文 is written Chinese (書面語), not spoken Cantonese.
