PR #47

I love the dickbutt addition but the dark mode thing kinda wrecked it, and honestly I'd vote for a revert of my own PR lol. That said, the links/terminal style MR was awesome, and I agree with @matthewmayer that any kind of straight revert is going to be not only boring but messy.

if I make a PR that reverts this, would people vote it? I kinda hate the aesthetic 😅

personally i think a straight revert is a bit boring so i have proposed a new theme at #130 which may eventually get merged.

IE6 is great, but lets go even more retro: https://github.com/skridlevsky/openchaos/pull/130

As seen by #110 this pull request doesn't actually implement IE6 compatible mode. @skridlevsky I propose a revert.

🎉 Merged.

#13 (Rust rewrite) had the most votes but couldn't merge due to conflicts. As per the rules, PRs must be mergeable to win. #47 was next in line.

Thanks @bpottle!

The latest blog entry sounds like https://github.com/skridlevsky/openchaos/pull/13 is legitimately on-deck to be merged without conflict, so FWIW I spun up a branch that I think will cleanly merge this one and that one afterward, if the Vercel stuff passes. For the record, I still think "rewrite" is an unfairly broad title for what that MR does, but I love it, let's go.

Added functional IE6 wrapper browser buttons, basic browser function calls for back/forward etc., trays for Search and Favorites

This PR appears to have disappeared from the main ranking list, not sure why.

Good catch! GitHub API was only returning 30 PRs. Fix is up in #86, waiting on votes.

The emojis look too nice and sharp. They should probably all be replaced by pixellated 16x16 GIFs :)

I need to figure out what the hell to do with the faux browser buttons, but decided hey, why not just wrap the whole thing in a styled IE6 window?

Added an IE6-style status bar to scroll fake window.status messages

Added a "WIN CASH NOW" modal link with one of those imagemap tree scam games I remember. Typing w-i-n while open shows the winning hitzone.

• Added butterfly cursor trail
• Added MIDI player component (It plays Smash Mouth - All Star)

By request,

• Updated behavior of Get Flash & Get RealPlayer links
• Added 88x31 buttons to footer

also perhaps a nice collection of 88x31 buttons for the footer

this is very important

Needs the occasional gif animation. Like the sparkles can glint sometimes.

Needs an image map somewhere.

My biggest issue is the lack of toolbars. We need toolbars to 'help' the experience but I think this can be done in a different MR.

It's beautiful.

Added guestbook, added webcounter, added nonsense link for the realplayer thing because why not, I'm riffing at this point

How come no <frame> based layout?

Done. Sorry, no frameset or iframes.
