Halloween Horror Eyes

At short notice, I was asked to create some blinking eyes to be displayed on mobile devices and used for a charity Halloween Haunted Walk event. I created a quick PWA using an eyeball GIF found on Tenor. The PWA worked great on my own device, but the devices used at the event were a mixed bag of out-of-support Android devices.

The devices needed to have their displays remain on and showing the blinking eyes for the duration of the event (3-4 hours). I couldn't find a way to reliably do that with the PWA as the Screen Wake Lock API was not guaranteed to work on the old devices. So, I recorded a video of the PWA and the video was used instead.

Sometimes I get to work on really important stuff, and sometimes I get to work on goofy stuff. I think this sits squarely in the goofy category.

Web Demos

My web demos exist as a playground for creating experiments written in HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

I have previously used CodePen for experimenting with HTML/CSS/JavaScript, but in the spirit of IndieWeb POSSE, I decided to start hosting my demos myself.
