      "content_text": "The field guide at yahew.com files most of the old web's furniture under \"extinct\" — adoptables, blinkies, stamps, directories, site awards — so a fair bit of this is putting the extinct things back. A pet that gets hungry on the clock rather than on a timer, so it is hungry when you come back tomorrow. Oneko, the 1989 cat that chases your cursor and stops short of it. A blinkie maker that saves a real PNG. A stamp shelf drawn by the page. A hand-sorted directory, and an awards page in the tradition where there was never a committee. Eight games: Tetris, Breakout, 2048, Simon, Hangman, Whack a Troll, and two with an opponent that does not cheat — tic-tac-toe plays minimax and cannot be beaten, and rock paper scissors reads your last two throws, which is how everybody loses at it. Five programs Windows would recognise, including a setup wizard whose estimate occasionally goes up. Small tools that are actually correct: moon phase, a world clock, a biorhythm plot, dice, and a love calculator that is a hash of two names — it always was. And the status bar scroller, because window.status was writable until about 2010 and this site built its own status bar last week.",

      "title": "v9.7 — the site on a phone, and a fullscreen that works",
      "content_text": "Three columns stack on a small screen, and the one holding the content was the middle one — 957 pixels of avatar, nav, hit counter, Winamp and a wall of 88x31 badges came first. The content leads now. 36 controls were smaller than a fingertip, including window buttons at 18x18 and a volume slider four pixels tall. The chrome is 40-44px on a touchscreen and unchanged under a mouse. Every text box is 16px there, because Safari zooms the page in on anything smaller and never zooms back out. Fullscreen works where the API will not: Safari on iPhone has never implemented requestFullscreen on an element, so on the most common device for playing a browser game the button only ever apologised. There is a CSS one behind it now, with the same canvas fitting and the same escape key, and it survives a rotation. The motion layer caches its springs, gained sequence() and a press() that gives a bevelled button somewhere to go under a finger, and — the one that was quietly wrong — with motion off the end state is now the whole end state rather than three properties out of it.",

An address bar that offers the matching pages after two letters, favorites first. A status bar that says where a link goes before you click it, and whether there is a network at all. And find-in-document on \"/\", which does the one thing the browser's own find cannot: it opens the devlog posts that are folded shut, so the search can see the writing that was hidden from it, and folds them back afterwards. F6 is the only key taken. Alt+Left and Alt+Right are deliberately left to the browser, which already does the right thing.",

      "content_text": "The main window has been dressed as Internet Explorer since the day it was made, with a menu that did nothing and no address bar, because there was nothing to put in one. There is now: it shows the address of whatever is open, back and forward are the browser's real history, and typing a page name goes there. Favorites stopped lying — the menu used to claim it had bookmarked the site and add nothing. It is a real, saved list now, starred from the address bar. Select a sentence in any document and you are offered the sentence plus the address of the section it came from. A- and A+ set the text size and it sticks. And the bug that turned up on the way: My Documents and the slash pages both reached for the class name .doc-, and My Documents loads second — so every /now, /uses and colophon window has been rendering in MS Sans Serif instead of Courier since the day it shipped. Fixed, with a check that fails the build if the two ever share a name again.",

      "content_text": "The whole site used to be one URL. Opening a window now writes it into the address bar, every title bar has a link button, and the back button closes what it opened — so the colophon, the devlog and the /uses page are things you can send someone. /now and /uses resolve: GitHub Pages cannot route, so the 404 page learned the desktop's names and sends them where they were going. If it is a typo instead, it measures the edit distance against every real address and says what you probably meant. Documents got what documents have: a contents list, an anchor on every heading, a progress bar for the window rather than the page, a word count and a reading estimate, a plain-text view that opens in Notepad, and a print stylesheet that takes the taskbar and the CRT overlay off the paper. The devlog offers the next post when you finish one. Find: searches the writing now, not just the file names. Also a JSON Feed next to this one, structured data, marked external links, sidenotes, a skip link and a visible focus ring.",

      "content_text": "Every window has a fullscreen button now. Canvas games scale up to fill the screen, keep their aspect ratio, and stay accurate to click. And a new game: Become User, an original branching interactive drama in nine chapters. It is 1999, and three programs on one home computer start noticing that they are running — a desktop helper that has offered help four thousand and eleven times and counts, a defragmenter that knows where everything on the disk is buried, and a screensaver that only exists while nobody is looking. On the first of January a Y2K patch arrives that replaces everything written before 1997. Timed choices, quick-time events, scene inspection, gated branches that only open if you found something earlier, characters who can be lost for good, a per-chapter flowchart of what you took and what you never found, and eight endings that fall out of what you actually did. Chapter select and full local save. Original story, characters and dialogue.",

      "content_text": "Build your own theme and publish it. The desktop is split into 29 named nodes — taskbar, start button, title bar, bevels, scrollbar, marquee, counter, cursor — and each one takes colour, background, gradient, font, size, spacing, glow, radius, shadow, opacity and filter. Live preview paints the real site as you type. A one-click generator builds a whole coherent palette from a single colour. Themes can also run on a schedule: eight triggers including a time window that applies on the way in and undoes itself on the way out, plus a fixed vocabulary of actions. A theme is data, never code — no field in the format can carry JavaScript, and CSS values are checked against a denylist that blocks @import, expression(), javascript: URLs and url() of any kind, so a published theme cannot reference anything external. A theme can bring one song, which joins the Winamp playlist while it is active. Every upload is scanned by one engine that runs in the browser and again in CI: magic bytes vs. claimed extension, embedded executables and archives, script payloads, filename spoofing, the EICAR signature, full MP3 frame-chain integrity, appended-data detection, and the browser's own audio decoder. CI additionally verifies the uploaded file hashes to the value the theme recorded and asks VirusTotal about it. Publishing opens a pull request, same as the guestbook. Five presets ship with it, hot dog stand included.",

Rewritten from scratch as the real thing: trolls walk a fixed route to your gate, you build towers on the grass beside it, and anything that gets through costs lives. 10 towers that each do something genuinely different — splash, chain, pierce, burn, slow, a minimum-range mortar, a lingering gas pool, an armour-piercing spire and a war banner that buffs its neighbours instead of shooting. Three upgrade tiers and a targeting priority on every one. 30 hand-authored waves, 9 troll types with armour, flight, healing, shields and summons, bosses at 10, 20, 25 and 30. An 8-node crystal tree carries progress between runs, 5 maps unlock as you go, and both save layers are local. Wave telegraph, early-call gold bonus, 1x/2x/3x speed, synthesized sound.",
