After ~10 years of dating, my wife and I sent our friends and family an engagement announcement video set to the song “Snails” by The Format.

That was 15 years ago.

I spent 2 months learning about quantization and am extremely proud of the post I've written about it. I think these are some of the nicest visuals I've ever made, and I love how this compression technique invented in 1898 is being used on the bleeding edge in 2026.

Oh amazing! (Sorry it's been a pain, though.)

@terrygodier.bsky.social do you have Feedly as a source anywhere on the roadmap for Current?

The 49MB Web Page A look at modern news websites. How programmatic ad-tech, huge payloads and hostile architecture destroyed the reading experience.
