/* No JS → no scene can ever mount, so keep the pixel skeleton looping as a perpetual loader (Bram 2026-07-28). The shimmer is pure CSS animation, so it runs without JS on its own; we only ensure the skeleton stays the visible layer and the cover image stays hidden beneath it. The hint card needs no rule here — it only shows at data-scene-state="ready", which is unreachable without JS. */ [data-scene-container] .scene-skeleton { opacity: 1 !important; visibility: visible !important; } [data-scene-container] .card-image { opacity: 0 !important; }

Pressing through plastic wrap

Hover over the canvas and the surface starts to move. Something is under there, pushing out at you. Move away and it goes flat again, like nothing happened.

Techstack

WebGL and Three.js for the rendering. To nerd out a bit: vertex displacement shaders make the surface bend like a membrane.
